There is Another Way.
This image is from The Sunday Canberra TImes of February 16th 2003 with a report of the massive peace protest outside Parliament House on Saturday 15th.
But when war is the way chosen what does that do to the combatants? My friend Michael (http://michaelcardensjottings.blogspot.com/) has a link on his blog to a story by Anand Gopal found in The Asia Times Online (SouthAsia) http://www.atimes.com/atimes/South_Asia/LA30Df01.html "Terror comes at night in Afghanistan". Read it and weep. There are other ways to combat human rights abuses. The courts, or simply education. Why don't we use them? War diminishes, demeans and brutalises everyone. That includes the societies who engage in it.
