We’ve seen a wide variety of excuses deployed over many years of unsuccessful propaganda for a war on Iran, including false claims about nuclear weapons, the pretense that attacking Iran would improve civil liberties within Iran, and shockingly honest commitments to gaining control of more oil with which to slowly destroy the habitability of planet Earth. The push to attack Iran has been on for so long that entire categories of arguments for it (such as that the Iranians are fueling the Iraqi resistance) and hated leaders of Iran are now long forgotten. The latest excuse is the killing of three members of the U.S. military. Ordinarily, killing people could be prosecuted as a crime. But the United States government refuses to take part in international law, the U.S. troops had no legal justification for being where they were, and the violence across the region is being driven by U.S. support for enormous crimes by the Israeli government. Here's an email you can send with one click to your Representative, Senators, President, and Vice President: "As a constituent, I urge you to end all discussion of war with regard to Iran, to put an end to all sanctions on Iran, and to normalize cooperative, diplomatic relations between the United States and Iran. I expect you to refuse to support any legislation that authorizes or funds steps that increase hostility." Click here to send it. |
