Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

June 9, 2008

Last Friday, reacting to portents of war between the US and Iran, the Dow dove 400 points, and oil surged to more than $138 a barrel.

Were we to go to war with Iran, the price of oil would easily climb to more than $200 a barrel and the economy would be thrust into the deepest depression in our history. And given that the US invasion of Iraq has actually enhanced Iranian power in the Gulf, an expanded war could conceivably lead to the loss of an entire U.S. army in the region.

As our Founding Fathers understood, diplomacy is not ?appeasement.? The Campaign for a New American Policy on Iran is urging Americans to call their Congressmen tomorrow (June 10) at 1-800-788-9372. The group has organized a nation-wide effort to demand comprehensive and candid talks between Washington and Tehran to avoid a war that would be in nobody?s best interests.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
