Don´t bomb Iran!

I just have to make a comment that doesn’t have ANYTHING to do with our hotel but rather world events. This is from my point of view of course; I only know how things appear from a small town on the beach in Mexico.

What I feel that I have to say is; what is going on?? Iran?? Has the United States gone mad? Can politicians and therefore voters possibly think that this is a good idea? War cannot possibly be the answer! You can make a difference! Look at the change effected by the recent protests made by the immigrant population in the US. Whether good or bad they got the attention of the powers that be.

I hope that all of you will get together and let your representatives know that this Iran thing is NOT an option. Protest! At least then the rest of the world will know that the government is acting alone, and the people of the United States are fundamentally against this unilateral warmongering! I could spend days and days talking about this and that on the subject but the bottom line is the same. Just say “No” (No! No!) Please don’t let this happen!

Here are two great articles and a few of links to blogs that I’ve read. They contain lots of information and are more eloquent than I am.

Join Us to Stop Bush and Rumsfeld on Iran
By Pachacutec

A lot has been written about Bush and Iran since Sy Hersh’s New Yorker article, and too little done. This is a time for actions more than blog posts.
We’ve had confirmation that Bush is considering a preemptive nuclear attack against Iran. This is suicidal madness for America, as I described here. We also have word from Joe Biden yesterday that Democratic senators need a serious kick in the ass to wake up on this issue.

Ladies and gentlemen, put yer steel tip boots on.

We’re asking our readers to sign up for our Roots Project, to get together to lobby and meet with their senators in their home states. Since we’ve had time across the blogosphere to refine our message, here’s our current FDL recommneded talking points:

1. Starting a nuclear war against Iran is seriously nuts. It won’t just destroy part of Iran: its consequences will destroy America.

2. Through Iraq, Bush and Rumsfeld have proven they are weak failures who can’t be trusted to do the right thing with Iran. Even our military establishment is against Bush and Rumsfeld and is demanding a change in leadership. Rumsfeld must be replaced. Bush’s reckless rush to war must be stopped.

3. Strength begins with leadership, and yet leadership has not yet been tried on Iran. America must cooperate with our allies to contain Iran and promote its democratically inclined people through engagement and tough negotiations. Congress must act to be sure this occurs. Only people who lied about Iraq deny Iran is many years away from developing a nuclear weapon.
To get involved in the Roots Project, contact me according to the instructions in this post.

Getting groups of citizens to show up at the offices of senators and congressmen is an extraordinarily powerful tool. It’s underutilized and underappreciated. A handful of people going to an office is worth two thousand emails, letters or phone calls. It works. It shows them we are real people, and takes much less effort to coordinate than a peace march. Please get involved today to stop the next next mindless war against American interests, before it’s too late.
