POPSWe want More WAR, We want More WAR, NOW! A recent congressional resolution on Iran underscores the War Party's lock on the foreign policy 'debate'. Calling on the UN to bring charges of "genocide" against Iranian is yet another example of political pandering and congressional grandstanding that bears little, if any, relationship to reality.

POPSBeyond Intractability A free knowledge base on more constructive approaches to destructive conflict. In today's world of wars, some knowledge and understanding of how and why conflicts arise, and what we can do to solve them etc, can only be helpful. LOTS more at the site for all aspiring "peacemakers". .;)

POPSMother's day 2007 It's time for a world shift in thinking. Mothers are half of the equation of grief that comes to families stricken with the absurdity of wars. We need to put aside our tribalism and pride. We need to adopt a culture of empathy and social responsibility. We must cast off narrow views of sectarianism. A life lost is a tragedy. War is a lack of imagination.

POPSHas Our Government Lost Its Mind Completely? This is where the hysteria caused by government overreach begins to infringe on individual and constitutional rights. I certainly believe that all reasonable actions should be employed to keep us safe, but common sense and decency has to be considered in doing so. The terrorism watch list should not be used to discriminate or intimidate people who voice opposing opinions from our government, or who participate on peace marches. Hell, aren't these two of the rights we are claiming to be fighting to protect in our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? The Bushies and neo-cons have gone hog wild and they just decided that their own beliefs permits them to use the Constitution as toilet paper.

POPSTen Ways to Make Sure That Peace Stays Dead Too many people on each side see the other as wholly culpable. Too many people on each side see themselves as wholly innocent, wholly victimized, ill-served by the well-meaning, abandoned by former allies, betrayed by the media, misunderstood by people who should know better, forgotten by the world. Too many people on each side see only the suffering that has been caused them. Too many people have learned to wall themselves off from the suffering that they have caused.
