LEADING GRASS-ROOTS EFFORT BY TRUEMAJORITY: PETITION TO STOP IRAN INVASION

[Jeffersons Ghost]

The most established and potent grass-root effort in America wants to help you keep our government out of IRAN. It's serious business when TRUEMAJORITY starts petitioning about potential to invade that country. If you're not already a member, I promise you'll love getting their short easy-response emails every few weeks. It literally takes only minutes a month to participate.

Dear DU, Send a message telling top Democrats to speak out against bombing Iran.

You’d certainly think Democrats in Congress would know better than to be manipulated into supporting an unnecessary war—again.

But don’t count on it. Citizens are reacting in alarm while the administration considers bombing yet another Middle Eastern country against the advice of military leaders,1 but the Democrats have been almost silent.

Democratic leaders should stand up, pound their podiums and loudly denounce the Bush Administration’s ideas about bombing Iran.

Click here to send a message to top Democrats, including Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, insisting they speak out loudly, now, against any plans to bomb Iran.

It’s certainly clear that any rush to Iran is senseless, just as the bombing of Iraq was.

Yes, the acquisition of nuclear weapons by any nation, and especially one which expresses hostility to our own, is a problem to be taken seriously.

But the administration's own National Intelligence Estimate says it would take a decade before it could possibly happen.2 We now know that international inspections actually succeeded in stopping Iraq's nuclear weapons program,3 while experts on all sides of the political spectrum see nothing but another disaster if we attack Iran.4

So this time, let's learn from history. Our nation must honorably engage Iran, gather the best intelligence possible, and make rational decisions.

And our leaders must make that point loud and clear, now, before the nation is frightened into another mistake.

With hope for lessons learned,

Matt Holland

9. ALL THE FREEPERS ARE LAUGHING AT YOU RIGHT NOW

The damn fools actually want to drop the bomb in Iran! What they fail to consider is that Red China also has a bomb and strongly supports Iran... These next shots aren't Hiroshima victims. Sometimes government nuke testing doesn't go exactly right.
