How do we STOP a war with Iran?

[samhsarah]

I hope I'm wrong, but I see what's on the tee vee lately, and where Iran is concerned, it feels like one deja vu after the other. If I'm wrong, then great. But if I'm right, what lessons do we take from the build up of the brainwash into Iraq to make sure it doesn't happen again?:think:

1. Stop Alito

That's the only way.

[samhsarah]

2. I believe very strongly that we need to stop Alito,

but I'm just wondering how that would stop a possible war with Iran?:shrug:

3. Me, too.

Walt, can you explain why stopping Alito would make a difference?

5. He'd be the vote to put WarPig over the top.

An O'Connor would never allow WarPig to usurp the congressional War Declaration authority.

Alito will.

7. Good Point. nt

4. "we"?

Can we stop it?

[samhsarah]

6. When I say "we" I am referring to any and everything that us

normal little people can do. I know there is much more that goes into starting a war, but as far as what "we" are capable of doing. Even if we can't really make a difference, that's never an excuse not to try, so how can "we" try.

10. We can try

like we tried against the Iraq war I guess.

8. Get the Israelis to do it for us?

<strangelovian comedy>

They owe us, big time. And after all, where do you think the very first Iranian nuke is going to land?

9. the upcoming draft will do it

[blm]

11. I expect many IWRyeas will step forward and disclose that Iran and Syria

were specifically targeted by them to be taken OFF the table and are not covered by IWR.

The push will be to keep it in the UN. It's up to us to back them on that push.

12. peacefully shut the nation down peacefully

nothing illegal, mind you. It's about the money. So stop money being made. No working, no buying. Spend our time in political activity, talking to representatives, meeting with our fellow citizens, demonstrating in public venues. Stock up with provisions now, and think about what you're personally able to do in this regard, how far you're prepared to go (lose your job, no dessert, simple food for the family, no driving, no entertainment, etc.) Formulate your own plans in advance, and shut the motherfucker down. Note that this will not be a Sunday-afternoon activity after which we return to our normal life. This is full-time until illegitimate policies are abandoned, and you need to figure out what you're willing to commit.

13. hmmm

definitely something to think about. I just can't imagine how to get American's to go along with something like that, but if it could be done, it would be something, wouldn't it?
