As the United States government approaches going to war with Iran, I wanted to take a brief moment to give a message to many around the world.
War is just about one or more governments using violence to unite support from their people against other people. Those in government need to continue to have the people's consent to stay in power, so they say that other people in far off lands are such a danger and that we need to have a preemptive war. Governments try to get their people to rally together which enhances the power of those governments.
Us regular Americans DO NOT want a war with Iran. We only desire peace, trade, and friendship with other regular people abroad. And I know that there are many people in Iran who feel the same way. It is only our governments who want war.
I hope the people of the United States, Iran, Israel, and of every other interested party, say no to our corrupt governments and their desire for war. We must all do what we can. That might be writing letters, talking with friends, writing blogs, making youtube videos... what ever it is. The world cannot afford another war. I know that the American people cannot afford another war. Do what you can to say no to war.
Note that there are those in Israel and Iran who have already sent messages of peace back and fourth. You can see some of these here .
[And the title of my post is a tribute to a compilation co-edited by Thomas E Woods called We Who Dared To Say No To War ]
