The War Game

WHY ARE WE FLIRTING WITH THIS?

no justice, no peace

Why is the U.S. Government trying to start a war with Iran?

Oops!

I was putting together the video, which occupied this space last night, with the intent of watching the whole thing before posting it. I also was going to ask the illustrious Agent 99 to vet it for me.

While assembling the video, I caught four or five minute sections of each piece and found it to be interesting and important.

Then I got a phone call and had to rush out so I posted the video knowing Agent 99 would find it.

It seems I made a McCainism and never appropriately vetted the the thing, so in hindsight I have now removed the video.

However the question still stands.

What road...

are we heading down?

Hillary Clinton, in her most bellicose comments since the presidential race began, today threatened to obliterate Iran if it launched a nuclear strike against Israel.

Speaking as voters went to the polls in the potentially crucial Pennsylvania primary, the New York senator said: "I want the Iranians to know that if I'm the president, we will attack Iran (if it attacks Israel)."

Luminary Peace Sign


Full Moon over Peace Sign

Photo journal of the events of the day.

Yesterday I attended a protest against the Iraq War held on the fifth anniversary of George Bush's escapades in the region. What began as "Shock and Awe" has proven to be just plain awful. Based on lies and doctored evidence we were dragged into this quagmire by Bush's personal vendetta against Saddam Husein as well as a desire to control the worlds second largest oil field. In the process nearly 4,000 American Soldiers have died, thousands upon thousands have been wounded. Of those wounded many are dealing with a life of physical and emotional scars which will never heal.

Blogging about it for a year and a half somehow soothed me enough so as to feel I was doing something. While I was always on the front lines of the protest movement against the Vietnam war it had now become easy to let others stand on the corners with their placards, while I drove by honking and waving a peace sign in support.

Recently I have been moved more towards direct action. Email solicitations from Moveon.org asked me to sign up to attend the candle light vigil being held at the Unitarian Universalist Society of Sacramento preceded by an anti-war demonstration.
The thought of attending kept bouncing around in my head until yesterday morning as I was looking at the piece of foam board sitting in the corner of my room.
Suddenly it occurred to me it would be perfect for a protest sign.

I was off and running, digging through all the downloaded photos on my computer, printing them out, cutting them up and pasting them onto the foam board. A grape stake and some duct tape to attach it completed the sign. After a couple of slivers the handle was also wrapped with duct tape.

First I headed downtown to another protest I had heard about, but upon arriving I found that the rechargeable batteries for my camera had gone bad. In the time it took to make the preliminary settings on the camera the freshly charged batteries had already died. Fortunately I have a charger that works in my car, so wishing to take pictures later, I decided to forgo the demonstration at the Capital and instead get new batteries and get them charging for later.

That was the first battery snafu. The second occurred when I arrived at the later protest, parked and walked six blocks to the event only to discover the dang batteries were still in the charger in my car. Not only did I exercise my rights, but my legs as well!

The Sacramento protest was held at the intersection of Howe Avenue and Fair Oaks Boulevard during the afternoon rush hour from 4:30 to 6:30PM. This is one of the top 2 intersections for traffic volume in the Sacramento region.

September 15th Antiwar Protest in D.C.

This past Saturday the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition and the Iraq Veterans for Peace held a protest in Washington D.C. asking for an end to the war in Iraq and prevention of a war with Iran. Up to 100,000 people took part including a march from the White House to the Capitol Building where 5,000 to 6,000 people performed a Die-in on the steps of the Capitol.

Some of the scenes along the way:

In Memoriam

Prayers were offered for a nuclear-free world at a ceremony marking the 62nd anniversary of the U.S. atomic bombing of Hiroshima in World War II, held Monday at the Peace Memorial Park in the city.

"Here in the 21st century, the time has come when problems can actually be solved through the power of the people," Hiroshima Mayor Tadatoshi Akiba declared.

Akiba said he would call for the elimination of nuclear weapons, as it is the will of humanity, at a general meeting of the United Cities and Local Governments, an international organization of municipalities, to be held in South Korea in October.
