Congressman,
The following letter is intended to convey my opposition to the war on Iran. The Trump administration has ignored diplomacy to pursue another war in the Middle East which is bound to be worse than the war in Iraq. There is no justification for this war.
Nothing good came from the war in Iraq, and nothing good will come from this war. The reality is that Israel has an excessive influence on our foreign policy. I have been to Israel, and I happen to like Israel.
But the current government in Israel includes coalition partners who are every bit as fanatical as the Ayatollahs in Iran. The Trump administration includes officials such as Mike Huckabee as Ambassador to Israel who promotes his own religious beliefs as if they are American foreign policy. As a Greek Orthodox Christian who totally rejects the Ambassador’s view of the Bible, I find this offensive.
The Trump administration is pursuing a war based on the religious views of certain Evangelicals (not all of them) who can be properly viewed as a cult. Such individuals which include the Senator Lindsay Graham favor a war based not on the country’s interests but on their own religious views which the overwhelming majority of Christians worldwide
(Especially the Middle East) reject.
Both Iran and Israel have religious extremists in their governments. The US should not allow its own fanatics to influence American foreign policy. Congress should refuse to support this war and impeachment of the President should be taken into consideration.
