Hamas, 'terrorists' Hezbollah, the 'West', foreign policy decisions - all are labels used by people. People who take decisions about these 'facts on the ground' and spin them for their own agendas.<BR/>An article like this dealing with real people in real situations speaks louder than any 'policy statement' even by the savior of the American dream, Barak Obama.<BR/>The oxygen of publicity would starve the opinion makers of credibility for their policies.<BR/><BR/>Power to the people requires people to participate in that power - with real information and not slogans of 'change we can believe in.<BR/><BR/>What about 'PEACE WE CAN BELIEVE IN'?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049415.post-12147627279897923402008-11-25T17:24:00.000+02:002008-11-25T17:24:00.000+02:00What can I say?

Passively reading posts like these and others, reaching deep into my heart, and then on to the next one.<BR/>What can one person do to publicize this atrocity going on in Gaza and elsewhere?<BR/>take a leaf from Anna's work and do something yourself or if it is not possible, publicize work like this far and wide.<BR/>I'm gong to try to get it published on OEN now, even though they will probably say its too old.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049415.post-2447016883988097182007-07-29T15:23:00.000+03:002007-07-29T15:23:00.000+03:00Wow.
