NO ATTACK ON IRAN!

Attacking Iran would be a triple disaster:

Political disaster   Attacking Iran will NOT make us, Israel or anyone else safer; instead, it will:

• Punish a country that, inspectors say, is not now building nuclear weapons, even though Israel, India and Pakistan already have them;
• Trigger an Iranian response, ignite the volatile Mid-East when the US is still stuck in Iraq and Afghanistan;
• Poison relations with China, India, Russia among others;
• Possibly lead to the use of nuclear weapons by Israel or the United States;
• Make every other country want nukes as the only safeguard against being attacked.

Economic & environmental disaster   Attacking Iran will:

• Send the price of oil through the roof, rewarding speculators, punishing the rest of us with soaring prices for food, fuel;
• Destabilize the economy which is barely recovering from a severe recession;
• Divert resources from education, health care, and rebuilding infrastructure; increase the national debt already out of control;
• Reduce the value of the dollar, inflating the prices we pay for consumer goods ;
• Devastate poor countries by increasing energy costs.
• Destroy the Iranian economy for decades to come.
• Poison the land, sea and air for generations.

Moral disaster   –   Attacking Iran will:

• Kill many thousands of Iranians, many of them children;
• Produce widespread hunger, disease, and permanent disabilities among civilians;
• Make us an international outlaw — an unprovoked attack is illegal, the ultimate crime against humanity is aggressive war;
• Make millions of people hate the US – again.

Stop the war on Iran before it starts!
