Fukushima. Hiroshima. Nagasaki. When Will It Stop? Fukushima raised many questions about the dangers of radiation and the long-term effects of radiation poisoning. As the 66th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki approach, it is a very good time to take a closer look at what happened and to refocus our attention on the dangers of nuclear weapons.

The Peace Movement is Alive and Well -- and growing! This piece is a response to an article that appeared on CommonDreams.org and Politico.com which describes a battered and bruised peace movement that lacks vibrancy and focus. The Executive Director of Peace Action, a co-convener of United for Peace and Justice, and the Executive Director of New Jersey Peace Action tell a different story.

Is the Iraq War Really Over? Today marks the 9th anniversary of the United States' invasion of Iraq, an invasion that was considered by many to be illegal, immoral and unjustified. Today's anniversary passed without much attention being paid to it -- and yet, there is much we need to remember about what happened (and continues to happen) in Iraq. This all leads to the conclusion that the war in Iraq is NOT yet over.

The So-Called "Good War" in Afghanistan is Now "The High Cost War" This piece is about how the so-called "good war" in Afghanistan must end -- and how President Barack Obama should listen to the majority of Americans who now oppose the war, and not the generals -- who would like to see the U.S. embroiled in continued conflict in Afghanistan for another 8 years in a no-win situation. It is time to bring our troops home and return Afghanistan to the Afghan people.

Secret Surveillance of Muslims Should Concern Us All Our justice system should operate on the premise that a person is innocent until proven guilty. Unfortunately, it seems the NYPD has put that aside and is classifying a whole community as suspect, simply because of their religion. Most of the mainstream media responding to this story have described this as an issue between Muslims and the government. While Muslims' civil rights and civil liberties are under attack
