No War on Iran

President Bush accused Iran of "providing material support for attacks on American troops," and added "we will seek out and destroy the networks providing advanced weaponry and training to our enemies in Iraq." U.S. forces are now seizing Iranians in Iraq - over Iraqi government protests - and Bush is sending nuclear aircraft carriers and missile defense batteries to the Persian Gulf. The unthinkable - a wider war in the Middle East - is unfolding.
John D. Rockefeller IV, D-W.Va., chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said that any U.S. military move into Iran would be "catastrophically stupid" and "unleash a conflagration like we've never heard of before." We could not possibly agree more.

Resistance to a Bush Administration planned military strike on Iran is growing in Congress, but it needs your help! Sign the petition to Congress below - No War with Iran!

We need everyone who wants to prevent a war with Iran to join the effort now!
To: Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice cc: Chairs of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and House Committee on International Relations We, the undersigned, vehemently oppose any U.S. military action against Iran. Such military action would inevitably kill large numbers of innocent people, foster even more hatred and international condemnation of the U.S., and dramatically increase the instability of the region. Our own intelligence agencies have concluded the Iraq war has worsened the terrorist threat, and a war against Iran would add immeasurably more fuel to the fire. Iran's current nuclear energy program is within their rights under international law. Even if Iran decided to build a nuclear weapon, experts agree that it would take several years. There is no crisis, and our government should not create one with inflammatory rhetoric or military threats that increase the incentive to develop nuclear weapons rather than reduce them. The U.S. has both the time and obligation to work with the international community to create a diplomatic resolution to the situation, and the current refusal of U.S. officials to talk directly with Iranian officials cannot possibly help. Therefore, we urge you to take all steps necessary to reach a peaceful resolution to the current situation, including direct negotiations without pre-conditions. This is the only way to prevent yet another war, one that would be a calamity of truly global proportions.
