Iran is a sovereign country and any attack upon it would be a violation of International Law according to the Charter of the United Nations http://www.un.org/aboutun/charter/
The Bush administration wants a dialogue to begin about attacking Iran. It has thrown out several reasons, none of which are justified under International Law, for an attack.
There should be no dialogue about violating International Law.

Ed is right: an attack on Iran would be a violation of international law. Why aren't the Democrats shouting about this? They have a majority in Congress and a majority in the polls and they were elected to get out of Iraq and yet they are not only not getting out of Iraq, but they are aquiescing in Bush/Cheney's threats to start another war in Iran!! It's unbelievable!
It will be great to have a chance to vote for you, someone who is not afraid of whatever the current crop of Dems is afraid of.
On Oct. 29, Zogby America reported: "A majority of likely voters – 52% – would support a U.S. military strike to prevent Iran from building a nuclear weapon."
We don't survey whether Americans support a planned murder: no matter how vile the potential victim, murder is a crime.
Invading, or "militarily striking," another country without U.N. approval is likewise a crime, to be precise, a war crime.
Our U.S. war crime perps may still pay. Donald Rumsfeld snuck out of France this week to avoid arrest for the war crime of ordering torture.
Thank our lucky stars for a Massachusetts Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate who knows what war crimes are, and doesn't take polls on whether the U.S. should commit them!
