Troops Home Fast: Day 32, Amman, Jordan
Speaking peace while making war is not a sustainable policy.- Mr. Rami G. Khouri, on Condi's "glamour" visit to Israel last week (Jordan Times, August 4, 2006) My trip to Jordan from JFK Airport in New York City started out with a Middle Eastern flavor the other day. A group of us came here to meet with Iraqi Parliamentarians and human rights groups to find out what the people of Iraq who don't live in the Green Zone and who do not get their paychecks from the White House think and feel about the occupation and what their hearts' desires are for their country.. » read more

Mock Coffins and Jeers As Bush Sworn In 01-23-05
Reuters Friday 21 January 2005Washington - Flag-draped coffins and jeering anti-war protesters competed with pomp and circumstance on Thursday at the inauguration of President Bush along the snow-dusted, barricaded streets of central Washington. As the president's motorcade made its way down Pennsylvania Avenue from the Capitol to the White House amid the tightest security in inaugural history, thousands of protesters along the parade route and nearby downtown streets booed, chanted slogans and carried placards condemning Bush's policies at home and abroad. Some turned their back as the president drove slowly past. Others yelled, "George Bush, you can't hide. We charge you with genocide.. » read more

Some 100,000 to Protest in London Two Years after Iraq Invasion
Agence France-Presse Saturday 19 March 2005London - Some 100,000 people are expected to march through central London to protest against the invasion of Iraq two years ago and other elements of the US-led war on terror, organisers said. Starting at Speaker's Corner in Hyde Park at 1:00 pm (1300 GMT) on Saturday and ending at Trafalgar Square, the demonstrators will hear speeches by anti-war campaigners such as the Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, and former Guantanamo Bay inmate Martin Mubanga and place a coffin in front of the US embassy. "We need help to make this demonstration as big as possible" the action group, which organised the rally, Stop The War Coalition, said on its website. "With rumours of an attack on Iran in June and the demonstration being a matter of weeks before the general election it would be fantastic to have many hundreds of thousands of people expressing their anti-war sentiment," it said. A spokesman for the coalition told AFP that at least 100,000 people were expected to take part, noting that the march would pass in front of America's embassy in Grosvenor Square where the organisers planned to deposit the coffin.. » read more
Peace Groups Continue To Miss The Real Issue Day of demonstrations guaranteed to accomplish absolutely nothing

Bringing The War Back Home Eugene Resisters Shut Down Recruitment Center
4-2-5March 18th 2005 Civil resisters from the Civil Resistance study group that have been meeting at the Friend's Meeting house in Eugene led 70 people in a successful direct action at the recruitment offices of the four major branches of the military service: Air Force, Army, Navy and Marines. In a dignified, inspired example of classic non-violent struggle, and armed with graphic photo enlargements of the human casualties of the war, American and Iraqi, as well as thoroughly researched material that exposed the lies of our government about the realities of the war and the recruitment process, the resisters confronted the military recruiters and the mainstream media. While acting from a place of deep compassion and respect for the human dignity for those who disagree with us, we achieved three major objectives with startling success; we shut down the recruitment center for the day; we succeeded in injecting into the mainstream media graphic images and powerful verbal messages capable of transforming public opinion about the war; and we established our First Amendment rights to demonstrate at a supposedly "private property" shopping center without interference from law enforcement. The action was executed after a month of meticulous planning, many meetings, civil disobedience training, copious research and a tremendous amount of hard work and long hours by many of the resisters. We organized the Civil Resistance study group around the idea that the time had come for action, in addition to ongoing legal and conventional methods of resisting the war.. » read more
