CONGRESS MUST NOT ALLOW THE PRESIDENT TO ATTACK IRAN.
An ominous pattern of provocative words and acts from the White House points to a new war: a “preventive” strike on Iran.
“All options are on the table,” says the Bush Administration. Does that include a nuclear option? Yes, they have refused to rule out using nuclear weapons.
Nuclear or not, the fallout from this attack will be catastrophic. Iran is three times larger than Iraq. It has vast resources and intense national pride. It can wreak havoc on oil markets. It can retaliate against Israel or the Gulf States. In Iraq and Afghanistan, 175,000 U.S. soldiers could be the victims of a surge of anger at America.
But doesn’t Iran refuse to talk? That is White House fiction. Two serious offers from the Iranian leadership have been rejected out of hand by the White House.
No one wants a nuclear-armed Iran. The reality is that bombing Iran will likely strengthen the hard-liners’ hand and ensure that Iran will one day become a nuclear state.
The American people want diplomacy, not another war. Four out of five Americans favor direct talks with Iran. Congress must make the White House listen to the people.
