Cities for Peace Project – A coalition is forming to request that Columbus
City Council join the Cities for Peace project by passing a resolution in
opposition to war on Iraq. Cities for Peace is a project of the Institute
for Policy Studies in conjunction with the Education for Peace in Iraq
Center (EPIC), National Priorities project, some American Friends Service
Committee chapters, and other grassroots groups. So far, Columbus Campaign
for Arms Control, the Progressive Peace Coalition, and CAIR, Ohio have
endorsed the call for a Columbus resolution against the war on Iraq. Please
let me know if you would like to add you name to the request or if know of
any other organizations who would co-sponsor this endeavor. The sample
resolutions and resolutions from other cities are available at the Cites for
Peace website. A letter and sample resolutions will be sent to each member
of Columbus City Council and Mayor Coleman early next week. After the
letter is sent, we can start a call-in campaign to urge council members to
introduce and support the resolution.
This information has been prepared by the Economic Globalization Task Force of the First UU Church of Columbus for the benefit of those interested in this aspect of our foreign policy. It is our hope that you will wish to make your views on this important issue to you representatives and Senators.

AUSTIN, Texas -- "Peace is not merely a distant goal that we
seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal." -- Dr. Martin Luther
King Jr.
Normally, making the case for peace over war requires the brain of a gnat. "Jaw, jaw," said Winston Churchill, "is better than war, war." There's not much historical evidence that war does anyone any good: some rare cases of "just war" under St. Augustine's definition. Mostly war (A) kills a lot of people, causing hard feelings; (B) doesn't solve anything; (C) has hideous unintended consequences that often lead to more war. Avoid war if at all possible is the first rule of statesmanship.
Conservatives are fond of pointing out there are problems in this world can't be solved by throwing money at them. There are even more that can't be solved by dropping bombs on them.

Ohio recorded 652 murders in 1989, sentenced eight killers to death that
year, and has scheduled a Wednesday February 12 execution for one who
confessed, Richard Fox. State law permits execution for the worst
murderers, where aggravating circumstances outweigh mitigating factors
beyond a reasonable doubt. The Ohio criminal justice system singled out
Richard Fox as its most deserving killer of the year because of geography
and judicial error.
Since the bottom line here is terrible physical pain, let's start with someone who has spent most of her life in that condition. There are millions like her. Patricia C. is 47 today and lives in California. At the age of 12 she developed scoliosis, and 16 years later, her doctors told her she had the neck and spine of an 80-year-old. A car crash in 1998 left her with additional spinal trauma and a brain injury. Her whole life revolved around pain. She had no appetite, was sunk in depression and prayed to God to release her from her torment.
It's not as though medical marijuana shifted Patricia to a bed of roses. "A lot of the time," Patricia C. said recently, "I have to take far more medicine for my body -- for the pain, the nausea and muscle spasms -- than my brain can handle. I wake up every night in pain. I get up every morning in pain." But, as she says, "Today, I am in relatively good spirits, primarily because of my daily use of medical marijuana, which I find an absolute godsend. I can use it daily. It isn't addictive, and it isn't detrimental to my health."

Who has not clambered onto a bus, headed off to a protest demonstration and stood amid sparse company in the rain, thinking, "What's the use?" Who has not listened to some plucky orator rasping through a bullhorn, "Let our message go forth ... " and thought privately, "Forth to whom? Who's listening? Who cares?"
These days, there's a spirited movement growing across the United States opposing a war against Iraq. There have been some big events, like the rallies in Washington, D.C., and San Francisco, attended by vast throngs. But there have also been rallies and vigils by the score in small towns.
Are they making a difference?
Of course they are, just like the demonstrations in Europe, the Middle East, Australia and elsewhere. U.S. ambassadors and CIA heads of station may deprecate and downplay the world protests in their reports, but they cannot dismiss them, any more than can the White House. How can you ignore a turnout of 500,000 in Florence?
