... the issue of Iran's future is one that should be left to the will of the Iranian population.
Yashar Vasef
  

Time to End the

Rhetoric on Iran

by Yashar Vasef

As I sat down to watch a recent Republican debate, I was struck by the candidates vying to out-hawk one another on the issue of Iran. It revealed the saddening truth for those of us who oppose war against Iran: We have let the discourse slip into deep waters.

Furthermore, we need to be aware of the activities of the Mujahedin el—Khalq (MEK) also known as People's Mujahedin of Iran (PMOI) or MKO. This is an organization, viewed by many inside and outside of Iran as cult-like, that aims to remove the current Iranian regime from power. They are also widely recognized as a terrorist organization themselves. Typical of such movements, they have set up a powerful lobby in Washington advocating for 'forceful' removal of the Iranian regime.

Presidential candidate Rick Santorum, former Senator Sam Brownback (R - Kansas), and current representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R - Florida) are their chief supporters in Washington. With the help of the aforementioned politicians, they have received millions of dollars for what they call "opposition activity". Now is the time to contact our Iowa representatives and stress that we oppose any legislation in support of the MEK's activities and those policies that will unnecessarily increase tensions between the two states.

In Iran we often remark on the unpredictability of Persian politics. This is a land where in the span of weeks Iran transformed from a dictator that boasted about Tehran having shorter mini-skirts than Paris to a hardliner clerical establishment which banned make-up. But at its core, the issue of Iran's future is one that should be left to the will of the Iranian population.

To lose the Iranian population in this game of political jockeying and saber rattling would be one of the worst foreign policy blunders in American history. The Iranians should be viewed as a long term investment for the United States. If America stays patient, and allow the reform movement to play out, the United States would reap the benefits of a reformed Iran and will have a major strategic ally in the region outside of Israel. And one spawned from a mass civil movement as opposed to the House of Saud.

PEACE Iowa remains actively involved in seeking a diplomatic resolution to the standoff between Western Powers and the Iranian government, holding a letter-writing to Congressional leadership recently at a February 6th Thai Flavors Community Day fundraiser. Later, letters addressed to Dave Loebsack were hand-delivered to a Loebsack staffer at a meeting at which five PEACE Iowa representatives discussed with the staffer relevant facts and expert opinions cautioning against attacking Iran. In addition, at least three letters-to-the-editor from PEACE Iowa membership have been published.

PEACE Iowa is currently planning to have cultural events in which we show recent Iranian films followed by discussion with Iranian-Americans.

"Toward the Uplift of All: Building an Alternative Society in Gandhian Nonviolence"
Gandhi Workshop with Chris Klug
Saturday, April 21st
1:00 - 4:00 pm
Wesley Center Coffeehouse, 1st floor
120 N. Dubuque St., downtown Iowa City
Please contact PEACE Iowa to register

The workshop will be led by Chris Klug, and includes a presentation and small-group discussion.

It will focus on some of Gandhi's basic ideas and practices for nonviolent reflection and/or action, such as means and related ends, willingness to die, and "opponent" rather than "enemy." Participants will examine how Gandhi's "Constructive Program" was an alternative to the systemic violence of the Indian society of his time. Participants will explore how we can participate in fashioning and supporting nonviolent alternatives to systemic violence today.

The workshlp is free, though donations to PEACE Iowa will be accepted at the workshop.

About the facilitator, Chris Klug: Chris has been on the staff of peace education centers is Richmond, VA and Brookings, SD, and has many years of experience leading groups to India to learn about Gandhi and nonviolence.

STOP THE REAPER! END THE WARS!

  Brian Terrell discusses his trip to Afghanistan
  and his nonviolent resistance to Predator and Reaper Drones

Wednesday, February 22nd - 7:30 pm - Iowa City Public Library
Thursday, February 23rd - 7:00 pm - Prairiewoods, Hiawatha
Contact: Rebecca Rosenbaum <rosenbaum.rebecca[at]gmail.com>


Over the past few years we have witnessed the increasing use of unmanned aerial vehicles, the MQ-1 Predator and the MQ-9 Reaper, to undertake armed attacks around the globe. Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Yemen and Somalia have all been subject to drone strikes by US drones remote controlled from bases in the US, many thousands of miles away.
 

Drawing on his experiences in visiting Afghanistan and nonviolent resistance to Predator and Reaper drone warfare here in the U.S., Brian Terrell will speak to the urgency of an immediate end to the "war on terror." He will address the social, economic and security costs that U.S. aggression inflicts both on foreign battle fields and on battle fields at home. Brian visited Afghanistan for three weeks in December, 2010, with Voices for Creative Nonviolence and the Afghan Youth Peace Volunteers. In January, 2011, Brian and 13 others were convicted of trespass in a Las Vegas court for their protest at Creech Air Force Base, from where unmanned robotic drone aerial raids on Afghanistan are controlled. On December 1, 2011, he was sentenced to ten days in jail for resisting killer drones at Hancock Air Field in Syracuse, New York.

Brian is just back from Bahrain where he was detained and then deported for his participation in a pro-democracy demonstration.

ARASERUKA / SOLIDARITY: Reflections on Gender, Health, and Development in Burundi
with Alexandra Douglas
Monday, March 28th
7:00 pm
Room A of the Iowa City Public Library
Contact: PEACE Iowa

Ms Douglas works with people who are suffering the consequences of Burundi's 13-year civil war (1993-2006), in one of the poorest urban communities in Burundi. Post-war challenges include extreme poverty, an HIV/AIDS rate estimated at 16%, minimal health care, pervasive sexual violence, food insecurity, lack of potable water, and deep psychological trauma from the war.

Alexndra will speak about a small, community-based clinic operated by the Friends Women's Association, in which a group of women provides comprehensive health care, psychological counseling, individual and community trauma healing, nutritional support, micro-credit loans and women's empowerment programs to other women in their community.

The clinic operates under the belief that where there is health, there is hope. And where there is hope, there is the possibility of long-term peace.

ARMISTICE DAY OBSERVANCE

11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month

11:00 AM on November 11th, in front of Old Capitol on the Clinton St. Sidewalk

Bells will ring to remind us of our Desire to hold to a peaceful future
PUBLIC IS INVITED - Gather at 10:45 AM
STAND WITH US FOR HALF AN HOUR TO HONOR AND REMEMBER ALL, VETERANS AND CIVILIANS, WHO HAVE BEEN VICTIMS OF WAR

November 11, 1918 was the day "the war to end all wars" ended. Bells were rung worldwide to celebrate. Bell-ringing at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month continued for many years to commemorate peace. In 1938 legislation was passed in this country declaring November 11th Armistice Day, dedicated to world peace. In 1954, our Congress passed legislation changing the holiday's name to Veterans' Day. Considering that 90% of victims of wars are now civilians, the change of the holiday's name distracts the public from the price of war paid by people other than members of the military. Therefore, we encourage the traditional ringing of bells eleven times at 11 AM on November 11th in honor of Armistice Day, and in honor of peace. Honor veterans, dead & alive, on the 11th. Remember also all the other victims of war, and let the bells help stir us to find new ways to wage peace. The names of US armed service members killed in Iraq & Afghanistan will be read, as well as the names of some of the civilians killed in those conflicts.

The Iowa City Council acted on a proclamation on the evening of 9/21/2010, at their 7:00 pm meeting.
More information at www.peaceday.tv

Proclamation for the International Day of Peace,

September 21

Whereas, the issue of peace embraces the deepest hopes of all peoples and remains humanity's guiding inspiration; and

Whereas, in 1981 the United Nations proclaimed the International Day of Peace be "devoted to commemorating and strengthening the ideals of peace both within and among all nations and peoples"; and

Whereas, the United Nations expanded the observance of the International Day of Peace in 2001 to include the call for a day of global ceasefire and non-violence, and invited all nations and people to honor a cessation of hostilities for the duration of the Day; and

Whereas, there is growing support within our city for the observance of the International Day of Peace, which affirms a vision of our world at peace, and fosters cooperation between individuals, organizations and nations; and

Whereas, global crises impel all citizens to work toward converting humanity's noblest aspirations for world peace into a practical reality for future generations,

Now, therefore, the City Council of the City of Iowa City does hereby recognize and proclaim September 21 as The International Day of Peace.
