ENOUGH FEAR!
New website up and running! I'm submitting ASAP...Let's get together and make it grow fast!

www.EnoughFear.org is collecting photos from people around the world, but especially in Iran and the US, to try and head off a war between our two countries. The photos are of people holding up one hand in the universal sign for "Stop!"

FROM THE WEBSITE:
How to dismantle an atomic crisis
Seymour Hersh writes an article in the New Yorker. President George W. Bush makes a statement to the press in Washington. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad issues a letter from Tehran. But there is something missing from this debate: the voices of the people with the most to lose.

This is a campaign to bring the voices of Iranians and Americans into a discussion that is being dominated by extremists on both sides and bringing us closer to the unthinkable: nuclear war. Our leaders continue to rattle their sabers and spread fear, but we're ready to talk, and if they won't take that first step, we will take it for them. We've had enough. Enough posturing. Enough threats. Enough fear.

Our campaign begins with individuals willing to stand up and say no. This website will collect and display photos of people from the US and Iran (and other countries as well) holding up a hand in the universal symbol for "stop!"

These photos are the first step in what we hope will become an international campaign in which people from both sides will work together to prevent any attack. These are the people who will suffer if war breaks out.

There is no time to lose. Please join us! Add your photo to the site today, and be sure to join our email list so we can keep you up to date as the campaign develops. Our email list will be the backbone of this campaign - so sign up now!

Once we reach critical mass, we plan to hold actions to call on our leaders to sit down at the negotiating table. It’s time to put a stop to this dangerous cycle of threats and provocation and use diplomacy to avert this crisis. It’s our lives that are at stake.

3. I have a feeling the BushCo fear machine is revving into high gear...
.... a la the V for Vendetta government. They've got a war to start and an election to steal, so they'll do the only thing they know how to do.

8. But...But...
We just HAVE to show Tehran that OUR dicks are bigger than THEIRS!!

That's what it's really all about...two rich, self-important, asswipe leaders playing the "my dick's bigger than yours" game, and, in the end, it's only the common citizens who feel the consequences.
