What
the United States did to Iraq must not be done to
Iran!
The danger has been dramatically escalated
that the United States will launch yet another catastrophic
war -- this time against Iran.
Such a war could
come by a deliberate decision, or through a series of
provocations, reprisals, and misunderstandings. The latter
scenario has been made more likely through threats and the
positioning of weapons and troops.
President Trump
has called attacking Iraq "one of the worst decisions in the
history of the country." Click
here to sign a petition telling him not to make a decision
that could be even worse.
Congress has the
power to prevent this looming crime against humanity. Click
here to email your Representative and Senators (for U.S.
residents only) telling them to cosponsor the bills that would
block this war and to take other necessary steps to move us in
the direction of peace.
A war on Iran would be
a war on a large and well-armed nation. It would be a war very
likely to bring in other nations on both sides. That sort of
catastrophe would dwarf other recent disastrous wars.
If such a war happens and we survive it, apologies
won't do us much good. Years after the 2003 attack on Iraq,
some (but not most) of the members of Congress and the media
who voted for and promoted it apologized.
Some of the
same officials and outlets have supported new and ongoing wars
on Yemen, Libya, Somalia, Afghanistan, Syria, and elsewhere.
The disaster of a war on Iran could compel apologies, but what
we need is instead not to do it.
Sign
the petition.
Email
Congress.
