No War On Iran: Calgary Joins International Day of Action

We had an amazing crowd today for our rally in front of the Consulate General of the United States in Calgary.  Trying to get our message out to the warmongers who say we *must* go to war on Iran.  I don't believe war is ever a solution.  I think there are ways to bring peace in a peaceful manner and it's time our governments stopped putting money and oil ahead of human rights for all people around the globe.

 

The more than 200 leaflets we handed out contained a quiz on Iran and the answers were found on the back. 

How well can you do on these questions?  Please give it a try...

1. What country in the Middle East refuses to confirm or deny that it has a nuclear weapons program and refuses to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty
2. What country agreed to be monitored by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and has repeatedly opened up its country to IAEA inspectors?
3. Which country’s prime minister has been attempting to persuade members of his cabinet to make a pre-emptive military strike against a neighboring country?
4. True or False:
   “The International Atomic Energy Agency and the U.S. have provided evidence that Iran is attempting to obtain nuclear weapons.”
5. The IAEA severely criticized which country for falsifying information on Iraq and Iran’s nuclear programs?
6. According to the UN Charter and Nuremberg Tribunal, what is the gravest war crime of all?
7. Which is the one country on the planet which has actually used nuclear weapons against a civilian population? 

and The answers...

1. Israel, Pakistan and India have not signed the treaty.  Israel does not publicly admit it has nuclear weapons, although the fact that it does is common knowledge. Iran has signed thetreaty and does not have a nuclear weapons program.
2. Iran
3. Israel
4. False – neither have provided any evidence that Iranis attempting to obtain nuclear weapons.
5. United States
6. Attacking a country which hasn’t attacked you. This is called a war of aggression, which “contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.”
7. The United States, which bombed the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagaski during WWII, killing between150,000–246,000 people within just the first 4 months, halfwithin the first 24 hours.

How did you answer these questions?
How do you think many Americans or Canadians would answer these questions? In addition to sanctions, there have been targeted assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists and a U.S. surveillance drone was discovered in violation of Iranian sovereignty and airspace.
Let’s be clear, no matter what you think about the Iranian government;
the real aggressor in the Middle East is Israel and the United States.
Now that you know, what will you do?
NO war! NO sanctions!
NO intervention!
NO assassinations!
