MoveOn.org has an emergency petition for the UN Security Council based around one simple statement: The U.N. Security Council should back tough inspections, not war, so please go sign it.

The U.N. was created to enable peaceful alternatives to conflict. The weapons inspections under way are a perfect example of just such an alternative, and their growing success is a testament to the potential power the U.N. holds. By supporting tough inspections instead of war, you can show the world a real way to resolve conflict without bloodshed. But if you back a war, it will undermine the very premise upon which the U.N. was built.

MoveOn have a track record of being able to motivate and activate a large number of people (a lot of the turn out at the American rallies on march 15th can be attributed to them) so it's likely that this will get a lot of people signing - which, of course, means the site can be slow at times, but persevere as it is worth it. A copy of the petition and a supporting letter is being submitted to all the members of the Security Council on Thursday, so please pass the link ASAP on if you can!
