but we are not helpless. we must demand, now, that our government
take a new direction, and soon, not only for a cease fire,
but a ceasing of war,  the end of arms sales to fuel war,
the end of 800 military bases around the world; the end of the theft
of our tax dollars for killing; the end of policies which pit people against each other, the end of the destructive psychology
justifying violence to maintain  “strategic balance”.
