Stop War on Iran <http://stopwaroniran.org/>
<http://stopwaroniran.org/> 	*_Help us mobilize /NOW/ to_
Stop War on Iran!*

** <http://stopwaroniran.org/>
We are writing because of the new and immediate danger of a U.S. attack 
on Iran, either directly by the Pentagon or through Israel.

*In the next few weeks and months, we need your help to organize and 
mobilize a grassroots movement in opposition to another illegal U.S. war 
predicated on lies about "weapons of mass destruction."*

The real threat of such an attack was made clear last week, when Israeli 
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert,  addressing a convention of the American 
Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) in Washington DC, said that 
Iran's nuclear program must be stopped by "all possible means."  
Democrats and Republicans seemed united as they lined up to express 
unequivocal support for this position, presenting Iran's totally legal 
development of nuclear energy as a dire threat to "world peace."

This well-coordinated threat escalated after Olmert returned to Israel 
from his U.S. meetings. Within hours of his return, Deputy Prime 
Minister Shaul Mofaz called war against Iran "unavoidable."  Prime 
Minister Olmert then fanned the flames, echoing President Bush in 
saying, "All options, including the military option, must remain on the 
table."  Bush's swing through European capitals took the same message of 
threats against Iran.

Meanwhile, the May 28 Asia Times On-Line 
<http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/JE28Ak01.html> reported that 
the Bush administration plans to launch an air strike against Iran 
within the next two months. According to the article, two key U.S. 
senators briefed on the attack, Dianne Feinstein, Democrat of California 
and Senator Richard Lugar, Republican of Indiana, plan to go public with 
their opposition to the move. But their projected /New York Times/ op-ed 
piece has yet to appear.

Even former German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer warned in the 
Israeli daily Haaretz of June 1 that Bush and Olmert seem to be planning 
to end Iran's nuclear program "by military, rather than by diplomatic 
means."

*The only real opposition to the growing danger of a new war will come 
from the grassroots, not from the politicians. *It is imperative that we 
take this threat seriously and begin to mobilize now.

*Stop War on Iran *was the first international grassroots campaign 
launched to oppose the Bush Administration's drive to war.  *Since our 
launch in 2005, we have generated more than* *half a million petitions 
sent to elected officials and the media. * We have held meetings across 
the U.S. and have taken Stop War on Iran placards, literature and 
buttons to dozens of local and national antiwar rallies.

*But it is clear that we must do more.*  *This is a time when the 
grassroots movement cannot be silent.*  Over the next few weeks and 
months, we must do everything we can to mobilize to stop another 
criminal war for oil.  We need your help - please sign the attached 
petition <http://stopwaroniran.org/petition.shtml>; help circulate it to 
friends, co-workers, and classmates; print it out
