" KILLING CANNOT BE WITH CHRIST! " --ST. PATRICK

 

" Our apologies, dear friends, for the fracture of good

order. " As our nation prepares to escalate the war on

the people of Iraq by sending hundreds of thousands of

U.S. soldiers to invade, we pour our blood on the

walls of this military recruiting center. We mark

this recruiting office with our own blood to remind

ourselves and others of the cost in human life of our

government's war making.

 

Killing is wrong. Preparations for killing are wrong.

The work done by the Pentagon with the connivance of

this military recruiting station ends with the

shedding of blood, and God tells us to turn away from

it. Blood is the symbol of life. All life is holy.

All people are created in the image and likeness of

God. All people are family, and everyone is loved by

God.

 

" Dr. Martin Luther King reminds us that " ...we are

called to speak for the weak, for the voiceless, for

the victims of our nation, for those it calls " enemy, "

for no document from human hands can make these

humans any less our brothers [and sisters]. "

 

We come here today with pictures of Iraqi people --

mothers, children, those who have been the victims of

U.S. bombardment and sanctions for the past twelve

years. We also come here with love in our hearts for

the U.S. service people, also victims of war making.

 

We find hope in these dark times when sisters and

brothers around the world resist the spirit of hatred

and violence, lift up prayers for peace -- together

with works for peace.

Editorial: Civil discourse

Feelings run hot; behavior should not

The Evil that George Bush talks about starts in

Binghamton, New York with the Free Press (Press &

Sun-Bulletin) that has decided to let the killings

continue in Iraq. Our soldiers are dying, let them

come home, Peace supports the troops however peace

doesn’t support an unjustifiable war. Patriotism is

the ability to practice the First Amendment, The right

to assembly in a peaceable fashion. This is America,

where we defeated England during the Revolutionary War

on the basis of these rights. The U.S. Patriot Act

does not have the power according to the United States

Constitution to stop the addressing of issues by the

people when they are doing it in a peaceable manner.
