Stand up for diplomacy, not war with Iran

The next week is critically important for those of us who want to avoid an unnecessary and costly war with Iran.

Iran has come to the table for negotiations about the future of its nuclear program, with the next round of multilateral negotiations taking place in Moscow right now.

But the Obama administration is under tremendous pressure to abandon diplomacy with Iran, and follow a path that would make war inevitable. And much of the pressure is coming from warmongers like Mitt Romney adviser John Bolton (an ambassador to the United Nations under George W. Bush), who want the talks to fail.

We need to speak out now to ensure that President Obama knows the American people support diplomacy, not war.

Tell President Obama: We support your calls for diplomacy with Iran, not an unnecessary and costly war.

Many in power seem to have learned nothing from the catastrophic mistake and tremendous moral failure that was the war in Iraq.

There is already dangerous momentum to begin a war of choice with Iran. And should the Moscow negotiations break down or bear no fruit, the drumbeat for war will only grow more intense.

Tell President Obama: We support your calls for diplomacy with Iran, not an unnecessary and costly war.

To his credit, President Obama is clearly not rushing to start another war. But many members of Congress, including many Democrats, are pushing him to offer nothing meaningful to Iran until Iran gives the United States and its allies everything we want.

President Obama must know that there is full-throated support for diplomacy that can prevent an unnecessary war.

Tell President Obama: We support your calls for diplomacy with Iran, not an unnecessary and costly war.

Thank you for speaking out for diplomacy.
