DESCRIPTION:The sanctions and the threats on Iran ("everything is on the table") 
 regarding its nuclear program are in the news every week. The International 
 Atomic Energy Agency submits reports whose titles suggest a nuclear weapons 
 program on the rise, but the evidence is about the same as before. Iran 
 conducts various military-related tests that seem designed to shake up the 
 region. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad makes another outlandish 
 statement and the U.S. and Israel, perhaps together or separately, murmur 
 about war.\n\nThe Iran story is looking darkly familiar to the events of 10 
 years ago. Indeed, even back then someone in the George W. Bush 
 Administration blithely declared "...real men want to go to Tehran." (We 
 are confident that person had no intention whatsoever of picking up a gun, 
 putting on a helmet and flack jacket and boarding a C-130 for Iran.)\n\nFor 
 its February meeting, Peace Action of San Mateo County is fortunate to have 
 Michael Veiluva, general counsel to the Oakland-based peace and disarmament 
 organization Western States Legal Foundation. Michael is also WSLF's expert 
 on Iran and how it fits in with U.S. foreign policy and world events. He is 
 the author of the book Burdens of Proof: Iran, the United States and 
 Nuclear Weapons (2009), and contributed to Beyond Arms Control (2010), 
 published by the Reaching Critical Will Project of the Women's 
 International League for Peace and Freedom. He has written extensively on 
 the subject of Iran's nuclear program, most recently in the January 2012 
 Canadian Peace Magazine.\n\nOn Tuesday, February 28, Michael will offer his 
 insights into this fluid situation, even as they and it currently evolve. 
 We will gather at 7PM in Beck Hall of the Unitarian Universalists of San 
 Mateo. The UUSM is wheelchair accessible from the Ellsworth Street 
 entrance.\n\nThis is a chance to learn about preparations for the next war 
 - and try to gather some knowledge on how to stop it.\n
