Don, I fail to see what you are getting your knickers in a twist about.

Everybody would love to see a world free of nuclear weapons, but unilateral disarmament, which is what CND is all about, is a contentious platform, and whether you, I, or anybody else agree or disagree with that particular stance is irrelevant. The fact remains, it is a contentious viewpoint.

I drew attention to the fact that Google had, as I thought at the time, made just such a contentious political statement. If they had used a dove of peace symbol, I would have thought no more of it. I am now satisfied that they were in fact not making a political statement, they were simply the victims of their own lack of in-depth knowledge.

If you do not see that it might not be entirely appropriate for Google, Microsoft, AOL, YouTube, Sky TV, or any other globally accessed interface to openly advertise a contentious political stance, then I am afraid I cannot explain further.
