Wage Peace! Total WMD found in IRAQ as of 0800 GMT today: 0 No one is looking anymore Mourn
the Dead, Heal the Wounded, End the War In 1660, George Fox, addressed his country's leader, Charles II, with a message that our country needs to hear today: “the spirit of Christ, which leads us into all Truth, will never move us to fight and war against any man with outward weapons, neither for the kingdom of Christ, nor for the kingdoms of this world.”
This "Wage Peace!" website (admittedly pro-peace biased) was created because its
author, a Quaker pacifist/activist, must speak out while the Obama administration continues to commit what history
will
call "war crimes"
'in our name.' The links below are continually updated and archived to provide you with information. British, Iraqi, and American parents are
grieving daily for their dead children.
Now, we need to win the “peace.” “Victory” is about so much more than military dominance -- and that victory now might take years or decades to come, if it comes at all...Dennis Mills

Empty boots of warfare
Mark Klco, with daughter Elisha,
visits the Eyes Wide Open exhibit at Seattle Center, where 1,546 pairs of
boots represent U.S. military deaths in Iraq. Along the far wall were street
shoes representing a fraction of the Iraqi civilians killed. The exhibit on
the human cost of the war, by the American Friends Service Committee,
continues today, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Coffins at Dover base: A little-seen view of war
Defense Department photos showing coffins of U.S. military
personnel killed in Iraq appeared on an activist's Web site after he filed
a request under the Freedom of Information Act to receive the images. The
Pentagon yesterday ordered that no more such photos be released, citing a
military-wide policy dating to November 2000. A Pentagon spokeswoman said
the rules, prohibiting media coverage of human remains arriving, had been
in place at Dover Air Force Base since 1991 but had gone mostly unheeded
until the war in Iraq.

Paul Krugman writes: "But the important
point is that this isn't about Saddam: it's about us. The public was
told that Saddam posed an imminent threat. If that claim was fraudulent,
the selling of the war is arguably the worst scandal in American
political history -- worse than Watergate, worse than Iran-contra.
Indeed, the idea that we were deceived into war makes many commentators
so uncomfortable that they refuse to admit the possibility."

Daily Inspirational Quotes by E-Mail
"If it were suspected
that I, as an average citizen was responsible for even one death, that
suspected crime would be investigated. The civil authorities would not care
if I were a Democrat or a Republican, the crime would still be investigated.
I believe that Casey and all the other Americans and all the countless,
uncounted and unnamed Iraqis deserve the same consideration. All of the
innocent dead deserve to have their murders investigated: whether the person
responsible is a Democrat or a Republican." ~ Cindy Sheehan, Mother
of Spc Casey Sheehan, KIA 04/04/04, Cofounder of Gold Star Families for
Peace
"Can you imagine what it is
like, every time you set out in a car across the city, to wonder if you will
return?...I feel sick, but I don't run to the bombsite because I can't do
anything. I just sit there and wonder how many people are dead, and
pray for them, and for the people who set the bombs, and at the same time I
feel glad that it wasn't me there on the street. Your mind does these
things. "Thank God I made it today. Thank God it wasn't
me." But it was someone. ~ Sheila Provencher, CPT Iraq. (full
article)
Has
there ever before been a war that so many people disapproved of but so few
wanted to stop? Have the reasons for starting a war ever been so thoroughly
discredited without turning into reasons for ending it? Michael Kinsley,
LA Times
“I think that people want peace so much that one of these days government had better get out of their way and let them have it.”
~ Dwight D. Eisenhower In
Battle Ready, Gen. Antony Zinni writes, "In the lead-up to
the Iraq war and its later conduct, I saw at a minimum, true dereliction,
negligence and irresponsibility, at worse, lying, incompetence and corruption. I
think there was dereliction in insufficient forces being put on
the ground and fully understanding the military dimensions of the plan. I think
there was dereliction in lack of planning." “A time comes when silence is betrayal. "Even when pressed by the demands of inner truth, men do not easily assume the task of opposing their government's policy, especially in times of war. Nor does the human spirit move without great difficulty against all the apathy of conformist thought, within one's own bosom and in the surrounding world.”
~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. [see full article][hear full sermon] “Before long, you will see this curious thing: the speakers stoned from the platform, and free speech strangled by hordes of furious men..” ~
Mark Twain, The Mysterious Stranger (1910) “I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.”
~ Mohandas Gandhi “I don't think that violence and war is the solution. There are times when you reluctantly, as a last resort, have to go to war. I will tell you that in my time, I never saw anything come out of fighting that was worth the fight.”
~ Gen. Anthony Zinni “It also gives us a very special, secret pleasure to see how unaware the people around us are of what is really happening to them.” -- Adolf Hitler “A good end cannot sanctify evil means; nor must we ever do evil that good may come of it.”
~ William Penn, 1693
"Right now, we are the midwives of
the next generation of jihad, of the next al Qaeda. So the very thing that
the administration says it went there to prevent, it is creating." ~ Michael
