Dear friends,<\/p>\n
I am deeply concerned about reports that the Bush administration is developing plans for an attack on Iran, including the possible use of nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n
I believe such a strike would also be used as cover for Israel to accelerate its campaign against Palestinians by creating more illegal, unilateral facts on the ground while the world is bewildered by a second Shock and Awe campaign, or worse.<\/p>\n
I have joined with United for Peace and Justice to call on Congress and the UN Security Council to oppose military action against Iran, uphold the law, support diplomatic solutions to the crisis, and put an end to U.S. nuclear hypocrisy.<\/p>\n
