In April 1999,
thirty-six members of the House of Representatives signed a letter
calling for Vanunu's release from prison because they believed "we have
a duty to stand up for men and women like Mordechai Vanunu who dare to
articulate a brighter vision for humanity."
President Clinton responded with a public statement expressing concern for Vanunu and the need for Israel and other non-parties to the Non-Proliferation Treaty to adhere to it and accept IAEA safeguards.
However, ever since the silence had been deafening, until hope resurrected in Prague:
"Words must mean something [and] violence and injustice must be confronted by standing together as free nations, as free people"Human destiny will be what we make of it."-President Obama
"You cannot talk like
sane men around a peace table while the atomic bomb itself is ticking
beneath it. Do not treat the atomic bomb as a weapon of offense; do not
treat it as an instrument of the police. Treat the bomb for what it is:
the visible insanity of a civilization that has ceased...to obey the
laws of life."- Lewis Mumford, 1946
"Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends...I believe that as soon as people want peace in the world they can have it. The only trouble is they are not aware they can get it"You're just left with yourself all the time, whatever you do anyway. You've got to get down to your own God in your own temple. It's all down to you, mate...All we are saying is give peace a chance...All you need is love...Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one...Reality leaves a lot to the imagination."-John Lennon
"If you are not apart of the solution; you are apart of the problem."-Eldridge Cleaver
