War is not new; war is the old "power over" way of operating in the world, initiated by men who have accumulated enormous monetary wealth and vast corporate and military power-- men who possess great arrogance yet who who lack imagination.
There are two webpages on this site begun in February related to the War on Iraq. "Poems Against War" is a selection of eloquent, moving, passionate poems by Arab, Iraqui, European, Japanese, Vietnamese and American poets. click on:
Poems Against War
Also, I continue to write and edit a kind of War Diary and it is published here as the "NO MORE WAR" page with many photos of significant antiwar demonstrations --some Mark & I attended and worldwide. There are excellent articles regarding the devastating humanitarian, social, economic, and ecological consequences of this war. I include as much info as I can gather on casualties, Iraqui civilian casualties and those of coalition forces. click on:
