This is my contribution to Peace. My Peace. And perhaps by my peace the world’s peace.
Perhaps I’m just getting older. Maybe more tired. Maybe just more tired of it all.
All of the wars, all of the fighting, all of the rumors of wars, all of the rumors of fighting.
All of the petty squabbles, all of the egos, all of the silliness, all of the savagry.
Many want to change the world. Many don’t care. Many don’t know what they want. Many don’t know where to start or where to end.

Nancy Pelosi is on her way to Lebanon, but her staff may want to get her on the phone. Or then again, maybe not. There is a sit-in underway in her Capitol Hill office today, Friday, March 30th, with military families and Iraq vets requesting to schedule an appointment to talk to her.
They’ve been asking for four months now for her to agree to meet with gold star and military families, veterans for peace, Iraq vets, and active duty troops. Pelosi proposed a meeting with (…) -
Fake Maritime Boundaries

Craig Murray, Barry Lando – Wake up from your Slumber.com March 28, 2007
I have been unpopular before, but the level of threats since I started blogging on the captured marines has got a bit scary.
It is therefore with some trepidation that I feel obliged to point this out.
"The British Government has published a map showing the coordinates of the incident, well within an Iran/Iraq maritime border. The mainstream media and even the blogosphere has bought this hook, line and sinker. (…) -
Why America Keeps Losing Wars
31 March 2007 par (Open-Publishing)
1 commentIn the U.S.A.’s foolish plunge into an 1964-1972 Indo-China war, the U.S. forces won the battles, but lost the war for no more relevant reason than choosing that war. The War in Iraq which Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher foisted upon a credulous President George H.W. Bush, was much less a disaster, only because George H.W. Bush was wisely advised not to go deeper into Iraq. But, after the end of that war, Europe and the U.S.A. (both) promptly entered and lost the Balkan Wars which never (…)

According to U.S. officials, the financial squeeze has seriously crimped Tehran’s ability to finance petroleum (…) -
A Pretext For Invasion

1 commentTEHRAN, Iran — Iran on Saturday insisted that 15 British spies it seized had illegally entered Iranian waters, denouncing what it called a "blatant aggression." The Britons were being taken to the capital for questioning, Iranian media reported much in the same the Americans and Brits have been hauling off Iranians who actually live in the region and have strong ties to elements in Iraq.

Call that humiliation?
31 March 2007 par (Open-Publishing)
I share the outrage expressed in the British press over the treatment of our naval personnel accused by Iran of illegally entering their waters. It is a disgrace. We would never dream of treating captives like this - allowing them to smoke cigarettes, for example, even though it has been proven that smoking kills. And as for compelling poor servicewoman Faye Turney to wear a black headscarf, and then allowing the picture to be posted around the world - have the Iranians no concept of (…)

Brit “Hostage” Drama Pales in Comparison to MI6 and CIA Crimes Against Iran
31 March 2007 par (Open-Publishing)
“Perhaps we should get some perspective by imagining how we might react if the Iranians had occupied France and were patrolling the English channel,” runs a post on the UK Telegraph, responding to the capture of 15 British sailors by Iran.
Indeed. But I can think of one better.
Perhaps we’d get some perspective if we realized MI6 and the CIA plotted against the democratically elected government of Mohammad Mossadegh in 1953. “If there had not been a military coup, there would not have (…) -
