To: Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice
cc: Chairs of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and House Committee on International Relations

 
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 resolve the nuclear standoff, nor contribute to peace in Iraq and the Middle East. 

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.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
No War with Iran!
President Bush is now regularly accusing Iran of supporting attacks on U.S. troops, without any evidence, - remember the WMD&#039;s in Iraq, anyone? - adding that &quot;we will seek out and destroy&quot; these networks. Bush has authorized U.S. forces to kill Iranian &quot;operatives&quot; in Iraq, and he is sending nuclear aircraft carriers and missile defense batteries to the Persian Gulf. The unthinkable - a wider war in the Middle East - is unfolding. 

John D. Rockefeller IV, D-W.Va., chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said that any U.S. military move into Iran would be &quot;catastrophically stupid&quot; and &quot;unleash a conflagration like we&#039;ve never heard of before.&quot; We could not possibly agree more. 

Resistance to a Bush planned military strike on Iran is growing in Congress, but it needs your help! Sign the petition to Congress below - No War with Iran! House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said recently that she would introduce legislation to stop such a strike, so our demand is beginning to get through. But the pressure needs to be much, much stronger to stop a President who has apparently gone mad with war and his own power.

Please know that your email address is for internal purposes only; we will not send it to the petition recipients nor share it with any other organization for any purpose. Thanks also for forwarding this to your friends, colleagues and listserves. We need everyone who wants to bring peace to the Middle East and prevent a war with Iran to join the effort now!

		<description>As serious as this is its somewhat of a tempest in a teapot. In a rational world the administration would be held to the same level of accountability for fabricating the intelligence used to justify the invasion and its subsequent mismanagement of the Iraq War as was the Secretary of the Army was for Building 18 at Walter Reed. If Bush and/or Cheney had any honor whatsoever they would resign and let the Speaker of the House govern for the next two years. What a pipedream that is. The reality in Bushâ€™s looking glass world is that the administration made, in the words of the senior Senator from Nebraska, Chuck Hagel, &quot;the worst foreign policy blunder of our lifetime&quot; and views any one engaged in efforts to extricate America from this blunder as defeatist, unpatriotic, terrorist sympathizers. &quot;We f***ed it up but don&#039;t you dare try to fix it and while we&#039;re at we&#039;ll just spend good money after bad allowing more Americans to be killed so that the other dead Americans that came before them will not have died in vain.â€ The immorality and intellectual dishonesty of this position is truly staggering. Thank God (or the deity or non-deity of your choice) Bush &amp; Co. was not running the show during WWII because if they were weâ€™d either be speaking Japanese or German or both.</description>

		<description>The recently resigned Secretary of the Army&#039;s main qualification for the job according to his official bio on the DOD website:

&quot;The majority of Secretary Harveyâ€™s career has been spent with corporations that provided products and services to the federal government, particularly the Department of Defense, and included a year of Government Service....

Prior to his appointment as the Secretary of the Army, Secretary Harvey held various professional, management and executive positions within the Westinghouse Corporation from 1969 to 1997, including President of the Electronics Systems Group, President of the Government and Environmental Services Company, and Chief Operating Officer of the multi billion dollar Industries and Technology Group...&quot;

As you can see, he has been living high off the hog of the military industrial complex all his adult life and contributing generously to the Republican War Party. Thus his reward.

Since no mention is made of military service, I assume he has limited contact with the enlisted ranks.

By BushChaney repugnant standards he is the man for the job, doing a heckava job.</description>

		<description>I googled Harvey and what I found was surprising.  He was CEO of IT corp, a Carlyle company.  Carlyle piled on debt on IT and caused bankruptcy of the IT company WHILE the IT company was getting huge lucrative government contracts for their services.

Now it just seems strange to me that the words Carlyle, government contracts and Harvey are all noted in the same story.   I think pappy Bush was or is a board member of Carlyle.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;From what I have learned, the problems at Walter Reed appear to be problems of leadership. &lt;/strong&gt;

at least it is a start, admitting that there is a problem of leadership!  Hopefully the man can learn alot more.</description>

		<description>Thereâ€™s some kind of protectionism going on, since heâ€™s not yet been mentioned.
Comment by impeachcheneythenbush 

The whole  chain  of command  has   been playing   &quot;cover my ass&quot;  since  the   day   the story broke   to a  public   that is almost ready  to &quot;storm  the  Bastille&quot;

Everybody  in  my office, even  the rabid  repukes,   are fuming   pissed off  over  the  Walter  Reed issue,   and now over the   VA system ( thanks  to some  links  I passed  around  to veteran activist  sites).</description>

		<description>Marie, Farmer is now the executive vice president and chief operating officer for TriWest Healthcare Alliance. &lt;em&gt;The Phoenix-based corporation partners with the Department of Defense&lt;/em&gt; to provide access to health care for 2.8 million members of Americaâ€™s military family in the 21-state TRICARE West Region.  He retired and that&#039;s why Weightman was appointed to be Commander at Walter Reed.  So, while he&#039;s retired, it&#039;s just possible that a scandal about him about result in his being fired from TriWest, since they have contracts with DOD.  There&#039;s some kind of protectionism going on, since he&#039;s not yet been mentioned.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Câ€™monâ€¦ the mess at Walter Reed is reason for Pres. Bush to resign? Are you folks going to hold EVERY politician to those high standards? If something happens in their â€˜chain-of-commandâ€™, then they have to resign?
Comment by Dale &lt;/em&gt;

Ok Dale, Chimpy does not have to resign because of the mess at Walter Reed.  He can resign because of the clusterf*ck in Iraq.</description>
