NEWS & LETTERS, August - September 2008
No war on Iran!
Chanting "We are the ones we've been waiting for" and "We want justice, we want peace, we want love in the Middle East," dozens of mostly Middle Easterners protested in downtown San Francisco on August 2. One organizer told us, "What we have to have is a popular movement. Voting and hoping is not going to do it. Our government is threatening to bomb Iran. They do not respect human lives, nor any human values." Another participant, recently from Iran, said, "People in Iran don't want a war. They believe change will happen from within Iran, they don't want another external conflict deflecting attention from that."
