“Dear Afghanistan:” A New Year’s Call for Peace

While the US may be the world's single super power in military terms, it faces another super power: the voices of war-weary millions who detest violence and killing. In Afghanistan, in the United States, and among the populations of countries whose governments have joined the NATO coalition, millions of people are calling for an end to war in Afghanistan.

This FRIDAY DECEMBER 31 and SATURDAY JANUARY 1 we have a special opportunity to talk with peace-oriented people in Afghanistan by telephone wherever you are – AND ALSO by a computer link that will be set up at Traditions Café (5th & Water in downtown Olympia).

The debate over climate change generally transpires within
the cloistered confines of expensive hotels, executive boardrooms, and
diplomatic halls. As seen in the failure
to arrive at binding agreements in Copenhagen, the talks are generally
as sterile as the surroundings. Now, all signs point to another
high-level fiasco at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP 16), to be
held Nov.29-Dec. 10 in the beach resort town of Cancun, Mexico.
