- Peace Garden: The fix is in?

The fix is in?

Monday, November 06, 2006

It is anyone's guess what the elections will mean. It is also a sure bet that many seats will be stolen.

The politics-game culminated in the Saddam verdict - perfect timing. So hold on to your hats boys and girls.

Just to be sure, go to Care2 to sign the "No War with Iran petition:

We, the undersigned, vehemently oppose any U.S. military action against Iran. Such military action would inevitably kill large numbers of innocent people, foster even more hatred and international condemnation of the U.S., and dramatically increase the instability of the region. Our own intelligence agencies have concluded the Iraq war has worsened the terrorist threat, and a war against Iran would add immeasurably more fuel to the fire.
Even if Iran decided to build a nuclear weapon, experts agree that it would take several years. There is no crisis, and our government should not create one with inflammatory rhetoric or military threats. The U.S. has both the time and obligation to work with the international community to fashion a diplomatic resolution to the situation, and the current refusal of U.S. officials to talk directly with Iranian officials cannot possibly help.
Therefore, we urge you to take all steps necessary to reach a peaceful resolution to the current situation, including direct negotiations without pre-conditions. This is the only way to prevent yet another war, one that would be a calamity of truly global proportions.
Sure, we can't trust the regime with the election, how can we trust that they will even read this petition. But we have to try everything.
