I'll be calling every Michigan U.S. House Rep and Senator all morning, and out with fellow protestors all afternoon.
It might be too late already to stop this insanity, given the news that seems to be breaking re: Iran, but damn we've got to try. The beast that is the war machine will keep roaring unless we starve it.

2. What news breaking from Iran?
If you're talking about the explosions in southern Iran, I think some people might be overreacting to this. Let's wait until we know what actually happened.

4. He said "from Iran" so I thought he might be talking about the
explosions in southern Iran. There are a couple of hysterical threads about this already.

7. Why do you think not?
I posted a link in the other thread to a source that said Iran was detonating old land mines, and the govt had warned locals last night to expect these explosions.

Why not calm down and wait for some facts? Some people seem disappointed that this might not be war. Strange.
