Maybe if 200 million people all sign a letter saying that we completely disapprove of this attack and it is because of a madman in the WH?

1. A very public summit at which Iran's leaders join Vladimir Putin in
Edited on Sun Apr-09-06 11:08 AM by Old Crusoe
some sort of alliance treaty would raise the ante.

Also a press conference by Colin Powell to denounce the strategy as "insane" would be beneficial.

There needs to be a swift critical mass rising against any kind of attack on Iran.

If Bush is bluffing and the Russians know he's bluffing, they wouldn't lift a finger But they have strategic oil interests in that region also, and if it's not a bluff, things could get rough.

Powell is discredited in many circles because of the U.N. speech on "mobile labs" in Iraq, but he still commands a presence, and his remarks would get major worldwide coverage.

11. He sees 5.9 billion people as a "focus group"
How can you expect a man who is chosen by God and superior to the rest of the human race to listen to a mortal's worthless opinion?
:sarcasm:

8. We can't do anything per se.....
These madmen are dead-set on a collision course with humanity. Nothing we say is going to stop them.

We should never forget: every day, as long as they are allowed to walk into the White House and continue their mischief, they are SUCCESSFUL. That's the only thing they go by. Unless they are pried out, with their fingers hanging on to the moulding, they will continue on the same course. They have no guilt, no shame.

Only one plan.

Russia and China will put a stop to them, though. The only thing these people understand is POWER. Raw power. And they'll give it to them.
