All Americans want to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons and interfering on the ground inside Iraq. Yet President Bush's saber rattling gives the US little additional leverage to engage and dissuade Iran, and, more than likely, simply accelerates a dangerous slide into war. The United States can do better than this. Congress must act now! Please join the Iraq War veterans at VoteVets.org and me -- send an email to your members of Congress today. Congress must do everything in its power to stop President Bush's dangerous slide into war with Iran. War is not the answer.
Dear [ Decision Maker ] , All Americans want to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons and interfering on the ground inside Iraq. Yet President Bush's saber rattling gives the US little additional leverage to engage and dissuade Iran, and, more than likely, simply accelerates a dangerous slide into war. The United States can do better than this. Congress must act now! What can the Congress do to help? 1. Push the Administration to support Iraq with the non-military resources that are essential to progress there. Congress should hold immediate hearings to investigate why the non-military elements of the Administration's strategy have failed so badly, and why the appropriate resources cannot be brought to bear. 2. Add pressure to Prime Minister Maliki to convince him to take the tough measures required to settle the issues of oil revenues, federalism and the militias. Congress should strengthen its efforts to investigate corruption inside the economic development program, and demand stronger accounting for the Iraqi government's and leaders' relationships with Iran. 3. Demand that the Bush Administration commence an unconditional dialogue with the regional powers and each of Iraq's neighbors right now. This is the next sense-of-the-Congress resolution that is required. We cannot wait. We must act now to avoid a military conflict with Iran.
Sincerely, |
