WILPF calls for peaceful resolution of the Iran "crisis."

WILPF is dismayed that the Administration is again threatening military attack, this time on Iran.

The U.S. Section of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom is dismayed that the Administration is again threatening military attack, this time on Iran. Such an attack would be illegal, unjustified, counter-productive and inhumane. Bombing of Iranian nuclear research and power sites, even with conventional weapons, would be disastrous. It would violate Protocol I of the Geneva Convention, which prohibits such bombings because they can release lethal radiation into the environment.

The WILPF US Statement on Iran was written by a joint task force of the Women Challenge US Policy: Building Peace on Justice in the Middle East (WCUSP) campaign and Disarm! Dismantle the War Economy issue committee. We encourage you to send your Congressional representatives a copy of our statement. Please also use it to help prepare letters to the editor of your local paper. It is important that our communities hear from us, because the drive towards war by the Bush administration is deplorable and their propaganda machine has been working for months to convince our sister Americans that Iran poses a major threat to the US. This is simply not true and we must let our neighbors know our reasonable opposition to another drive towards war. If you're interested in coordinating your actions with other WILPFers, please contact me. We're forming an Iran Action Group to organize our grassroots activism.
