Message John Scanlon
Time is of the essence. An attack on Iran may be only months away. Iran may be years away from nuclear weapons, but Israeli intelligence estimates Iran is less than one year away from knowing how to make the bomb and believes that any military action taken after that "point of no return" will only be delaying action.

"The Bush administration is ruling out a guarantee not to attack Iran to induce it to halt development of nuclear weapons."

Demand the Bush Administration commit to non-aggression in return for no nuclear weapons in Iran. If Iran does not agree, demand the United Nations be allowed to deal with Iran as it should have been allowed to deal with Iraq. If the Bush Administration refuses these demands, Congress must declare war, or our military must support the Constitution by refusing illegal, executive orders to attack Iran. Just say No.


In conclusion, we don't need to spend the additional hundreds of billions we have been spending since 9/11 on defense, security, and intelligence. We don't need to be occupiers and torturers. We don't need an empire to be secure - quite the opposite. We're creating more terrorists than we are eliminating. We don't need to give up our privacy and our freedom. Democrats don't need to prove ourselves strong on Defense. Rather, we need to prove ourselves strong in the defense of truth and justice.

Iraqi Sunnis, Iraqi Shiites, Iranians, and real Americans must unite to stop aggressor Americans, preferably non-violently.
