Video: Iranian President's Visit to Columbia University NY
This website is called Climate Change Action. I believe that every post up until this point (several hundred) has been on climate change.
However in the past few weeks the language coming out of the US on relations with Iran has been disturbing. A war looks likely, or at least a distinct possibility. The UN secretary general just days ago warned of the increasing pace of escalation.
The last thing the world needs is another American led invasion in the middle east. This would be a regional disaster and may spread beyond the region. The consequences of having another issue bought on itself would be awful, not least in lost political capital on issues that really matter. Namely, climate change, extreme poverty, environmental degradation, health and global inequity.
This video bellow is of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad speaking in New York today. I am no fan of this man or his regime. But i hope from watching this his western media charachature will be blown away. An i encourage you to read more about Iran, and particularly the non-proliferation treaty that allows all states to have nuclear energy programs and also states that currently nuclear nations should disarm.
This is not a legal issue, it is not even solely an issue of security (deals to address this have be turned down by the US despite European pressure) it is an issue of US hegemony in the middle east.
Do not let Iran become a second Iraq!
[Update] Coverage from independant media. Corporates are selling us another war.
