I recently had the honor of being asked to join Jon Soltz, Iraq War veteran and Chairman of VoteVets.org, and General Wesley Clark, former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO, in the new installment of their ongoing video blog series for www.stopIranWar.com.
In this installment, they discuss with me how a possible attack on Iran would hurt the security of the State of Israel and negate efforts to bring peace to the region. Jon Soltz says, "(T)o preemptively strike Iran without dialog, to me, would only cause a problem much like in Iraq with the Mahdi Army and the Shia militias or with Hezbullah."
In light of recent events like the capture of British sailors and Marines by the Iranian military, Gen. Clark's call for regional diplomacy is even more poignant. Now, more than ever, we need to bring Iran out of 30 years of diplomatic isolation and into dialog with the United States and the rest of the world.
As General Clark says, "We need to be shaping a new vision for the region, and people in the region have to feel differently about each other. And the United States really is the power that can help bridge the gaps of mistrust if we ourselves have new vision."
So, please visit www.stopIranWar.com. Watch the video, sign the petition, write to your Senators and members of Congress, contact the media, and tell your friends. There's still time to head off another terrible war.
