We have heard a lot about vengeance for 9/11. Many an undereducated, disinformed U.S. soldier has been quoted as proud to be in Iraq or Afghanistan looking for vengeance. Will the parents of children slaughtered in air strikes seek vengeance by suicide bombing Americans? There never was any vengeance for the Vietnamese, Laotian and Cambodian parents who picked the entrails of their children from the leaves of palm trees after carpet bombings. (see testimony given to the Bertrand Russell War Crimes Tribunal). Nor for the Panamanians killed when the U.S. invaded to arrest President Noriega, who had been on the CIA payroll for thirty years by U.S. Presidential order.

How many of us believe that America should be brought to justice for its ‘mistaken wars’? In 1986 The International Court of Justice at The Hague found against the U.S. and ordered it to pay reparations to Nicaragua for damages done. The U.S. ignored the judgment and continued to fund attacks on Nicaragua. As long as the mammoth corporate state bully is sure it can continue to get away with murder, no one will be really safe.

Want to help our Iraqi brothers and sisters to keep their oil and their lives, and fight against corporate media selling us open-ended occupations? Quote the words of a national living icon - Kings credibility is stronger than anyone alive today, and his purity of purpose and his sacrificed life make it impossible for the war hawks so to go up against his evaluations and pronouncements.

“We must continue to raise our voices and our lives if our nation persists in its perverse ways ... Every man of humane convictions must decide on the protest that best suits his convictions, but we must all protest. Our nettlesome task is to discover how to organize our strength into compelling power.” MLK Jr.
