    Why We Must Resolve that a Better Faith is Possible
    by Greg Moses
    The movement for peace and justice in the USA has been transformed during the past two months. But what is the nature of the change, and how will it help to move us forward?

Because of this place we have come to, we have new opportunities to broaden the scope of our power to sustain lasting change for freedom.
    Sorrow is (…)

    This is what we’re up against.
    If an unpleasant possibility rears its head in the real world-one that runs counter to pet policies of ideologues—they simply decree it isn’t so and move on. That’s how ideologues so often operate. Take these lines from a column that ran in newspapers, including this one Sept. 9. Charles Krauthammer wrote: “This kind of stupidity merits no attention whatsoever, but I’ll give it a paragraph. There is no relationship between global warming and (…)

    Dear Mrs. Cindy Sheehan
    I am writing to you to express my sympathy for the loss of your son. As a father of couples of children, I know very well what it means to a mother to lose a son, and if that loss is for the welfare and benefits of humanity or not. Mr. Bush has raised war against Iraq for no legitimate reasons, since it was not backed by UN at its start. In the months that followed March 2003, it became clear to the world that the issue of weapons of mass destruction and relation (…)
