Dear Supporter of a Just Foreign Policy,

Today, we are releasing a new Web video on Iran that reveals the dangers of
an armed U.S. intervention and promise of diplomacy. This video will
complement the national Folly of Attacking Iran Tour1 - which is already
receiving an enthusiastic response on the West Coast.

Word of mouth is the best way to mobilize more Americans against war with
Iran. By watching and sharing the video, you help it gain momentum on Web
sites like YouTube.

*Watch the video, then share it with your friends and visitors to your Web
site:*

In 1953, the United States violently intervened in Iran by ousting the
democratically elected government of Mohammad Mossadegh and installing the
shah's military regime. This backfired spectacularly in 1979 when religious
militants gained power through a popular revolution and 52 U.S. diplomats
were taken hostage.

Veteran New York Times correspondent Stephen Kinzer, retired General Robert
Gard, Iranian-American scholar Trita Parsi, and USA Today reporter Barbara
Slavin explain the need for the United States today to use diplomacy instead
of force in its relationship with Iran.

*We think you will really like this video. Take a look:*
