Subject: RE: BS: Now that the war is over
I am hoping that, whatever we hear about the "glorious victory" or the "sainted liberators" or whatever Faux News is presenting, that those of us who were in activist limbo a year ago, but who've been moved to get involved in peace efforts in whatever way, will continue the struggle to heighten everyuones awareness of peace as a viable option in world affairs, to really attempt to get a Dept. of Peace as a part of our cabinet (it would probably do more for homeland security than Bush's reactionary repressions) and to find the people in your communities who at the grass roots level were out to speak their minds. If all of the peace activists who've been busy in recent months had been as active and vocal continuously over the past years we may have been able to spread the word better. Think of the millions all around the world who have been out to eapress their desire for peace. Keep those images in miond and do not stop learning and educating yuour neighbors. At one time many people considered slavery a necessary evil. Peace can be achieved, but it will not happen. In one of those ironies, peace is what we must fight for. But we can lead a non-violent front to raise awareness and take back our country.
