But Washington hasn’t resolved to do so yet. So we got a window of opportunity to shift our focus onto Iran, which has yet to be destroyed.
Our strength to make a difference here is almost totally centered in whatever current anti-war organization exists
I disagree. Not in the USA, nor probably in Japan (it would be different in Europe). Everyone needs to take an unsentimental look at his or her local anti-war “organizations” and then take a look at national anti-war “coalitions.”
I don’t get this - if “we” have proved powerless to stop the wreck of Iraq, why should “we” be any better positioned to stop an attack on Iran?
