Peace Action: Don’t Put Out Fire in Iraq With Gasoline!
Last Updated on June 13, 2014.
Win Without War coalition member Peace Action released the following action alert:
Tell President Obama “Don’t Try to Put Out the Fire in Iraq With Gasoline!”
Believe it or not, some are responding to the escalating violence in Iraq with calls for U.S. military intervention. Have they learned nothing?
Please take action: Tell President Obama not to try putting out the fire with gasoline – no U.S. military intervention in Iraq, invest in diplomacy and international cooperation instead.
The advance of the forces of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is no doubt alarming, but not a complete surprise in the context of deep social, ethnic, religious and political divisions in Iraq and the wider region.
Contact the president and send this alert to friends, family and colleagues you believe would want to take this action. The people of Iraq and the region need peace, reconciliation and development, not more war and definitely not U.S. bombs or troops.
Please take action to let the president know more war is not the answer.
