[Sosfbay-discuss] What to do about possible Iran attack?

[Tian Harter]

I notice that they went from sword brandishing on Iraq to actually 
attacking in much less than two years. For contrast they seem to talk
endlessly about attacking Iran but nothing happens. I think attacking
Iran would be dumb, but Bush has done other dumb things.

Regardless of the Administrations plans for Iran, they have committed
war crimes. Impeachment is a good start on stopping that. Impeachment
really takes only a few weeks to really set up. The problem is that it
also takes political will. How do we convince the incumbents they need
to impeach to keep their own seats? It baffles me. I'm listening for
good ideas.

What have I done lately? Last week I got a stack of those "Impeach 
Cheney first" bills that Carol had made. I'm learning how to work them 
into talking to people. Hopefully I can make a few Congress critters 
phones ring a few times before too much time passes.

On the make the incumbents feel a cold wind front: Cindy Shehan seems to 
be gearing up for a run against Pelosi. If you have any bright ideas 
about how to get San Francisco to vote for her those would be good to.
What encourages me is that she is planing to run a DTS campaign, meaning
not as a Republicrat by any stretch of the imagination.
