Subject: [FUTURE-CITIES] Pious Platitudes of Pope, President, PM,
Pre-empted by Peace Process of Saddam?
A global democratic vote would see 80% or > of world CITIZENS solidly
supporting a UN Peace Process vs. a U-S-A led War Process. This is what
Bush calls a "focus-group", again showing his contempt for democracy.
Has the wiley Saddam been engineering this Peace Process all along?
Where might it lead if he succeeds? Could Baghdad become the new GLOBAL
CENTRE of a world at peace? Possibly.
After two months of inspections, it is obvious that the most Iraq has in
the way of banned weapons would be perhaps a few missiles with slightly
more range than allowed, perhaps a few box cars of chemical and biological
agents buried in the desert. None of this is a threat to Iraq's neighbours
or world peace, especially if a UN presence remains in Iraq, empowered to
find and destroy any such weapons. The SPIRIT of UN resolutions (global
peace) is what matters to most of the world, not immediate adherence the
letter of these resolutions. The rushed schedule for disarmament is a
U-S-A contrivance being used so that any excuse for war may be used via an
immediate "material breach" even though it poses no threat.
So Saddam already has representatives of the global community in Iraq.
What if he takes the initiative to keep them there and in greater numbers
and with another role besides inspecting and destroying weapons? What
about construction of an International Peace City at the Babylon
Restoration Project which was interrupted by the Gulf War in 1991?
In the 1970's the UN commissioned 13 eminent architects from 13 countries
to build a model village for the world and that was known as PREVI, Peru.
Why not now a Model Peace City at the Babylon site? When the pope was in
Toronto, he called for the building of a "City of God". Both pope and
president have called for the building of a "Culture of Life" in those
words. All of these ideas and more could be submitted to Baghdad in
concrete, real-world form for the designing and construction of Saddam's
City of Peace at Babylon, paid for by a tax on oil exports after the UN
trade embargo is lifted.
The question is whether Pope, President and PM, even with all of their
resources, can spell out what just one city plus surroundings would be
like for a new era of enlightenment and peace in this world. Do they
really know a better way for humans to conduct their daily lives on this
planet? Saddam can find out with his Peace City.
POC
POPE CALLS FOR FAST AGAINST WAR ON IRAQ
Pope tells British PM in first such meeting in decades war on Iraq
would constitute a 'Crime Against Humanity'
THE POPE'S DISAPPROVAL WORRIES BLAIR MORE THAN MARCHERS
A "crime against humanity": those are the forthright words chosen by John Paul II to
characterise the coming war with Iraq, which he told Mr Blair yesterday would create
"new divisions in the world"...The Pope, a veteran of the Polish wartime resistance
and a lionhearted enemy of Communism, is no weak-willed peacenik. Quite the opposite,
in fact: he knows better than any of the West's current crop of political leaders what
war really entails. I imagine that the soft-spoken opposition of this towering figure
troubles Mr Blair much more deeply than the hostility of the million or so voters who
marched through London eight days ago.
The Pope's disapproval worries Blair more than marchers
By Matthew d'Ancona
[The Sunday Telegraph (UK) - February 23, 2003]: It used to be the solemn practice
of medieval crusaders to seek the indulgence of the Pope before they rode off on their
steeds to the Holy Land. Some wrote impassioned letters to the Pontiff for the good of
their souls, but many made the pilgrimage to Rome in person. Yesterday, on the eve of
another mighty conflict in the sands of the Middle East, the Prime Minister was
granted a private audience by John Paul II. But there was to be no indulgence - no
papal imprimatur - for this Christian soldier. Mr Blair may believe that he is
embarking on a "just war": the Holy Father does not.
When President Bush called the war on terrorism a "crusade" he was pilloried as a
Bible-bashing redneck. It is too easily forgotten that Tony Blair deployed that word
first, in a Newsweek article on the Balkan war in 1999, long before the atrocities of
September 11. The Prime Minister's robust Christian convictions and his readiness to
take military action have always been intimately linked in his own mind. He does not
see himself as a crusader in any aggressive sense; but there is no doubt that he seeks
authorisation for war, as well as personal spiritual solace, in the Gospels.
A"crime against humanity": those are the forthright words chosen by John Paul II to
characterise the coming war with Iraq, which he told Mr Blair yesterday would create
"new divisions in the world". Last weekend, His Holiness met Tariq Aziz, Saddam
Hussein's Roman Catholic deputy, while the papal envoy, Cardinal Roger Etchegaray held
talks with the Iraqi dictator himself in Baghdad (Saddam ranted about the racism of
the West).
If British Columbia were to design and build a model village and model city to surpass
even the criteria of the False Creek Model Village Project and the Bamberton Model
City Project, what would the result be?
