At Daily Kos, a strong call by Tom Rinaldo to the ‘Netroots.
The Netroots has to jump start the debate inside America about the approaching war with Iran. We can’t wait for the mainstream media to do that for us. Our numbers may be too small for us to wage and win that debate alone with all who need to hear it, but we won’t have to. America does not want another war. Once the issue of War with Iran is fully in public play the tide against it will surge with the strength needed to give real meaning to that word. Our job, the Netroots’ Greatest Challenge, is to make that public debate ever present and unavoidable. Over the coming week I intend to write letters to newspapers I never read, I intend to go to web sites that I never visit, I intend to send emails to people who have never heard from me online before, and I will ask them to heed the warning being sounded at StopIranWar.com. Please join me in whatever ways that you can.
And yesterday, General Clark himself.
The Bush Administration seems headed for a showdown in the Middle East over the issue of Iran’s nuclear capacity, and it’s clear that all Americans want to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons and interfering on the ground inside Iraq.
That said, military force must be viewed as the last resort, and not the first option. Yet the Bush administration refuses to engage in direct talks with Iran, and with each passing month that we remain stalled and the Iranian program progresses, we come closer to the US military option.
Don’t get fooled AGAIN. Sign up on StopIranWar for the battle of our lives.
