DESCRIPTION:The Bush Administration is speaking provocatively about the actions of 
 Iran, warning that "If Iran escalates its military actions in Iraq to the 
 detriment of our troops and-or innocent Iraqi people, we will respond 
 firmly." An association with terrorism and the specter of weapons of mass 
 destruction are driving those warnings. Recent attacks on Iranians inside 
 Iraq and an OK from Bush to kill Iranians there, as well as the deployment 
 of two aircraft carriers and some Patriot missiles to the Persian Gulf, 
 serve up a significant incitement for war. Hovering above all of these and 
 other circumstances is the stark intransigence of Mssrs. Bush and Cheney, 
 who together assert that nothing or nobody (in Congress or anywhere else) 
 will stop their surge (read: escalation) in Iraq - leaving the average 
 citizen little choice but to believe that these two also would not be 
 stopped from invading Iran.\n\nPaul George, Executive Director of Palo 
 Alto's Peninsula Peace and Justice Center, sees no choice but to think 
 otherwise, and on Thursday, February 22, he will speak to Peace Action of 
 San Mateo County about "The Coming Attack on Iran and What We Can Do to 
 Stop It." Paul's talk will follow a 5:30 PM potluck dinner put on by PASMC, 
 at the San Mateo Unitarian Universalists, 300 E. Santa Inez in San 
 Mateo.\n\nUsing the Iraq war, occupation and escalation as an example and a 
 backdrop, Paul will point out the signs leading to U.S. military action 
 against Iran, and of course present the kinds of responses peace activists 
 might generate, individually and collectively, to keep an attack from 
 happening. His position as PPJC's director and his history of action on 
 peace and justice issues - to say nothing of his straightforwardness in 
 addressing such issues - make him a strong voice to inform us of the issues 
 and the alternatives.\n\nThe UU is wheelchair accessible. If you come at 
 5:30 for the dinner please bring a dish to share; beverages of various 
 kinds will be available for purchase.\n
