Subject: RE: BS: Waiting for protests... (Gaza)
I am to understand that John d'Kemsing scoffs at the proposed solution. Understandable but not constructive.

personal respondsibility is key. Like an oath one must accept the blame and respndsibility for war.
Some say act locally but think globally or that small is beautiful. When all moderates of all the religions respondsible today or historicly for religous combat unite in non violence protest, I believe only then can some good come.


Some are respondsible for rushing to war saying that it is best to attack now while the Bush administration gives its tacit support.

Some are respondsible for condemning Barak's silence while deferring to the current administration.

Some think they are right when everyone else are wrong.

We are all to blame. Perhaps you are to blame by six degrees of separation or a single act of peace deferred.

Personal respondsibility may only be a concept now but when embraced it offers unity and change.

Some of you may also see a parrallel in ancient religious teachings.
A peace process will be accelerated by a personification of the non violent protest similar to Ghandi but respected by every religion.

Perhaps it is you in some small way everyday. If it is, soon all of us can own the respondsibility for the wrong and work for what is right.

UTOPIAN words? Yes, assurdly they are. Yet it is better than accepting disoptia as the normal outcome and allow war to continue to spread and infect every person on the Earth unto death.

all i know is that this idea has defied bullets before.
It takes more than guns to kill a man, woman and child, the idea didn't die.
