World Can't Wait (and all the other peace groups out there) have decided that they are evidently making so much progress toward peace, they can afford to leave their own Little Boy buried under huge stockpiles of orange bandannas, petitions, signs, bullhorns, pins, t-shirts, ribbons, magnets, bumper stickers and baseball caps. If World Can't Wait wanted to demonstrate their impatience with the Bush Regime, they'd throw down such nonsense campaigns and prepare peace's most powerful Fat Man of all...THE TRUTH.

Wēijī is the Chinese word for both crisis and opportunity. Wēijī is a dangerous moment, a time when things start to go awry. A wēijī indicates a perilous situation when one should be especially wary. Practically speaking, it is a time when one goes looking for advantages and benefits in order to save their own neck.

As a result of the "save your own neck" instinct, World Can't Wait and the even more patient peace movement chooses to avoid the powerful 9-11 Wēijī altogether...leaving the opportunity it created unanswered. The peace movement may say that Bush and his Regime are ignorant, but the fact is, Bush and Co have done a whole lot more with the crisis and opportunity of 9-11 than the peace groups--they've destroyed our Bill of Rights, our Constitution, the environment, Habeas Corpus, our commons, our economy, and our dignity in the world...so why isn't the peace movement capable of using the same "opportunity" for peace purposes? Can't the peace movement see 9-11 truth could not only end this war, but end war for all time?

"There's an old saying in Tennessee, I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee that says... "Fool me once shame on...shame on you...uh...If fooled...you can't git fooled agee-in!" W

If 9-11 changed everything, couldn't 9-11 truth change it again?

Just think if the peace groups of the 60's would have publicized the Gold of Tonkin incident? Would so many millions have died? How many must die before we decide on a more aggressive strategy (Truth! What a radical concept!) to achieve peace?

If we can hope to be effective at influencing our own congressmen and women to remedy our failed foreign policies, and yet we can't even affect change upon the failing strategies of our peace groups...WOW! I hope we've all stocked up on water, canned goods and and have our bunkers dug and ready!

The World Can't Wait might have a burning globe next to a picture of a hooded, tortured man but if they were half as impatient as they portray themselves...they'd demand a full independent investigation into September 11...NOW! They'd provide an audience for their own most eloquent members like Gore Vidal, Cynthia McKinney, Ramsey Clark, Ray McGovern, Ralph Nader, and Cindy Sheehan who already speak out about the 9-11 cover-up.

If any of these "PEACE GROUPS" would defend the 9-11 families who are begging Americans to stand up and demand a full investigation into the events of September 11th, they might actually get their precious peace and impeachment. Instead, they choose to re-enforce the propaganda through their silence about the age-old pattern of state sponsored, false-flag terror operations as if such public deceptions are "of little practical significance."

Gee, where have I heard that one before?

Even Bush himself said,

"We must tell the truth about terror. Let us never tolerate any crazy conspiracy theories concerning the attacks of September the 11th."

World Can't Wait says:

"The world has been waiting, but the world can't wait any longer. (We) can't wait for a massive movement to arise, determined to make the sacrifices and take the risks; to overcome the obstacles, to show the courage and heart so urgently in demand today; to cry out enough - of the unjust wars, the threats of further wars, the mass destruction of entire cities and neighborhoods, the grotesque torture and endless imprisonment, the steady encroachment of a police state of pervasive and permanent government spying, the relentless poisoning of this planet and the very things that make life sustainable."

Hey, World Can't Wait...the world is still waiting. If you're so upset about all these things, then why don't you try something different...something radical...something that might actually work...and why don't you TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT TERROR.

I guess it's ultimately World Can't Wait's decision, but if it again chooses poorly--like all the other "peace groups" have done for the past 6 years--we must prepare to get what we've always gotten.

"The future is unwritten, which one we get is up to us."
