August 23, 2007no war with iran--an important message about reviving public debate in our republicDear friends,
This Harper's article presents convincing evidence that our executive branch and our chief executive's ideological handlers are using Fox News to quicken our nation's pace toward war with Iran, just as they did in the lead-up to Iraq in 2003. For the fast, dirty evidence and an online petition asking other networks not to follow Fox New's lead, check out this page. Let us do more this time than hope and pray that we do not go to war again. Peace. ~JJW -- -- -- -- School of International Relations and Pacific Studies, UCSD Masters of Pacific and International Affairs candidate 2008 -- -- "Ten Years ago...Hong Kong was the tiny flickering light of internationalism on the south coast. Now the whole country is lit." --Professor Michael de Golyer Comments:
If you're in Beijing, maybe you'd like to join the discussions of the Beijing International Peace Vigil, a small group of foreigners that had protested the war on Iraq.

i was in Qingdao in the lead-up to the 2nd iraq war and all of us foreigners got messages from my employer not to cause any disturbances to the peace. how ironic. i would enjoy getting together for something low-key and meditative. you should check out the jane goodall roots & shoots office in beijing. http://www.jgichina.org/ roots & shoots international day of peace is sept 23rd. i imagine the beijing office will be participating in the giant peace dove campaign http://www.rootsandshoots.org/campaigns/dove cheers, ~jjw Archives
