September 2011


Greetings.



It is the ten-year anniversary of the American Tragedy of September 11th. You may have forgotten about it, there has been so much tragedy and drama since then, but the aftermath remains strong. We are still at retaliatory war in Afghanistan even though Osama Bin Laden is dead. We are still at war in Iraq even though that country had nothing to do with the Tragedy of September 11th nor did it have “weapons of mass destruction”. These wars have destroyed more lives than were lost and affected by the loss of September 11th. These wars are bankrupting this country, both financially and emotionally. And spiritually. To heal the psychic wound left by the Tragedy of September 11th, we must heal the aftermath of the tragedy. Stop all war now. STOP ALL WAR NOW! Let September 11th be a symbol for the futility of war. Demand an end to senseless death and destruction. An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.

NO MORE WAR


11 September 11



Send a postcard to the White House now. Let President Obama know that war is not a winning endeavor. No-one wins a war. Remind him of his promise to bring the troops home. Use the above design to show solidarity. Make the “o” in “more” a peace sign. MORE PEACE. Share this with your children and parents, your friends, neighbors, co-workers. Whatever your church, share this with the members of your church, the leaders of your church. Post a banner on your home (like I do). Make an effort and make a difference.



President Barack Obama


The White House


1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW


Washington, DC 20500
