Should we promote the award? An annual People's award for: <BR/><BR/>'Country who's most improved pollution control'<BR/><BR/>'Country who is involved in the least wars'<BR/><BR/>'Country who has promoted most peace issues'<BR/><BR/>etc... Hey, maybe that could be a good post for peaceglobe day.... :-)Annelisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18404801255562567591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35136026.post-12412833150001798812007-04-21T18:23:00.000-07:002007-04-21T18:23:00.000-07:00"When shall we know when all that is left is a "Mi..."When shall we know when all that is left is a "Military Solution"?" This is a great question and the $64000 question at that. When is a war necessary and just? I think we can safely say that Iraq was neither and WWII was both.<BR/><BR/>Google Earth and The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum(USHMM) teamed up to product this amazing piece of geographic software. You need to download GoogleEarth (google for it), install it and then go to the USHMM web site and download the Darfur layers.<BR/><BR/>Great post, Steve.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35136026.post-88265637384741875042007-04-20T09:24:00.000-07:002007-04-20T09:24:00.000-07:00there is a Google map of what is happening in Darf...there is a Google map of what is happening in Darfur..its paints a pretty powerful picture of what is happening there.

I think the best thing that we as individuals can do is offer people in these countries another view by virtue of our Blogs. Perhaps if they understand that we are not bad people they will be less likely to declare a holy war on us.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18356998698106275372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35136026.post-67667311676523585742007-04-18T11:01:00.000-07:002007-04-18T11:01:00.000-07:00I reckon, if an alien race set up camp on the moon...I reckon, if an alien race set up camp on the moon or Mars, it wouldn't be long before we all realised that, although we have different cultures, we are more alike than we can possibly know. It's only when someone/thing different is there to compare against that we (as races/ nations/ individuals) find our own place. This, I believe, is part of the 'boundary theory' where we use others, good and bad, to create boundaries round ourselves that we recognise. Anything that is outwith these boundaries is a threat... hence war.<BR/><BR/>...oh, and there's greed of course... :-(Annelisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18404801255562567591noreply@blogger.com
