Hi Yoshie.
Here's what we're doing here, or part of it. There seem to be some voices of reason
here beginning to penetrate all this war frenzy, just barely. Elin can provide you
with the contacts we garner from this forum. Also contacts may be available from
[EMAIL PROTECTED] for the Triangle area of North Carolina.
Thanks for doing this. I'm quickly coming to believe that the failure to fight back
against this lunacy will contribute to unimaginable consequences. This is defintely
not same-old same-old. We need a mass movement badly to counter it.
While Mark's earlier analysis may SOUND melodramatic, some of us have been saying for
quite some time that this was just waiting for the catalyst. Imperialism, finding its
immediate future before this event unpalatable, is now preparing to cash in. I agree
with Mark. It is a suicidal course they are embarked on, and none of us shall be
immune to its fallout.

> By now, many activists all over the USA & the rest of the world must
have sprung into action, organizing, holding press conferences,
handing out leaflets, gathering in vigils against war, and so on. In
Columbus, Ohio, USA as well, we've already held several meetings of
activists against war; sent out a joint press release; offered
solidarity to local Muslims in a place of worship & participated in a
joint press conference with CAIR-Ohio; handed out leaflets; & taken
part in three vigils. We'll be meeting again on Sunday, September
16. (If you or anyone you know is in Columbus, Ohio, USA, please
e-mail Yoshie Furuhashi at or call Yoshie
Furuhashi & Mark D. Stansbery at 614-668-6554, and we'll plug you
into our local activist network.)
I'd like to ask you to report on your local & regional activities
against war -- news likely blocked out by the corporate media. I
wish to have the names, e-addresses, & phone numbers of anti-war
organizers elsewhere who can serve as contact persons. Please also
inform us of any national & international anti-war actions being
planned (we know of & will participate in S29 being organized by the
International Action Center -- for more info on S29, visit
). Let's build an international network
(as the imminent war is likely to involve many nations).
In loving solidarity,
Yoshie Furuhashi
P.S. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who
graciously endorsed our joint statement; if you haven't done so
already, please see the statement at
-- if you'd like
to be added to the list of co-sponsors, e-mail
your name, affiliation (if any), & place of residence (for the
purpose of documentation).
P.P.S. Feel free to forward this to anyone against the imminent war.
