Letter to Senators Burr and Hagan

Here is a letter I email via Friends Committee on National Legislation website:

I am opposed to imposing sanctions on Iran and I feel the actions and words of US politicians around this issue are as insane as the actions and words around Iraq back in 2002.

In short, talking about sanctions and imposing sanctions is a war-making activity.  And Iran (unlike the USA) has not invaded or attacked or occupied ANY other country.  They are, at this time, in compliance with the Non Proliferation Treaty.

Sanctions will only hurt the ordinary people of Iran, just like sanctions only hurt the ordinary people of Iraq.  It will make the current government of Iran stronger, just like it did to Saddam's government.

To even suggest such an action, as Obama and Clinton have done, is either insane or vastly evil..... or maybe both.

To follow through will only establish for the world that the US has no consideration for human rights - YET AGAIN.  To follow through will only establish that the US's thirst for war mongering is not been abated at all.

It is insane, immoral and very stupid.
