Stop the Madness
Talking Points Memo has a quote from a new Time article suggesting that the Bush administration is getting ready to go to war against Iran:
We must do everything in our power to stop this war. The fact is, Iran is years away from obtaining nuclear weapons, and real diplomacy - namely, face-to-face negotiations with all topics, including normalized relations, on the table - has yet to be tried. A war in Iran could be the fatal blow which would make the world five years hence unrecognizable from the world of today - sadly, almost certainly to the detriment of all of the world’s people (think World War I’s impact on Europe).Coupled with the CNO’s request for a blockade review, a deployment of minesweepers to the west coast of Iran would seem to suggest that a much discussed—but until now largely theoretical—prospect has become real: that the U.S. may be preparing for war with Iran.
