Message Peter Wedlund

Peace has its benefits and failure has its costs. Anger, hate and revenge stroked to the point of conflict and war are not easily calmed until they have exacted their price in death, destruction and suffering. No one has to agree with terrorism to understand how it developed the deep roots that sustain its growth. Andwe encourage these roots by facilitating a process that feeds thehate, anger, suffering, injustice and neglect we blindly support with Congressional approval of the killing, displacement, subjugation and oppression of one group by another.

What then will be the epitaph of countless innocent US civilians in the future? Will they be killed because no one bothered to question, care or demand answers to these problems untilit was too late to make a difference, or it had becometoo difficult to correct them? Certainly no correction or peace will ever be possible if all we see is a single, limited perspective of the problem.
