Dear friends, four years ago today 12 or 13 million people took to the streets and The World Said ‘No’ to War.  Today, we continue. We say it again. At some point they will have to listen.

 

Please note these Talking Points are quite a bit longer than usual, hoping to include a more comprehensive look at what we are facing, how to respond, and some of the information we need to answer questions on this rising threat.  Some of this information is repeated from earlier articles and talking points, including

“Iran: The Day After” http://www.commondreams.org/views06/0419-23.htm  and “Congress: Treat Iran Like the Contra War” http://www.tompaine.com/articles/2007/02/07/congress_treat_iran_like_contras_war.php

Hope it’s useful. Thanks. PB
