Dr. Ebrahim (Abe) Soltani, computer education technology associate professor at Langston University asks, “Why do we have to have a war to solve problems? Why not peace?” Photo by Darla Shelden, Oklahoma City.

“The Israeli minister of defense said Iranians had enough uranium for 4 bombs,” said Dr. Ebrahim (Abe) Soltani, computer education technology associate professor at Langston University. “That’s not true. That’s not the facts. Iran is far away from this. Why do we have to have a war to solve problems? Why not peace?”


Oklahoma resident of 33 years, Mohammed Abooghadareh said, “I just want to stop the war. Like the sign says, ‘War is not the answer’ Let’s solve our problems by talking to each other.”


Americans trying to prevent a war with Iran are supported by some US military generals who feel war should be avoided unless absolutely necessary. They are supported by experts on the status of Iran’s nuclear weapons program who report that there appears to be no program in Iran to process nuclear fuel to weapons grade concentrations.


“Last week, James Clapper, Director of National Intelligence, told the Senate Intelligence Committee that he still has high confidence that Iran halted its nuclear weapons program 8 1/2 years ago,” said Prescott. “The threat of imminent war comes more from jingoistic media personalities than it does from nuclear weapons in Iran.”
