Neighbors, This announcement may be of interest to peace activists and the general public.
"In response to an overwhelming positive feedback on an email we forwarded with the International Action Center's on-line petition calling for "US Hands Off Georgia and Russia - End NATO Campaign" the Philadelphia IAC is inviting any one interested to take part in a discussion about this conflict on Tuesday, August 19th from 7-9pm at the Calvary Church, 48th & Baltimore Ave. (on the #34 subway-surface line from Center City & 30th St). Our apologies for the late notice. If you can not attend but are interested in continued discussion on this or other current topics, the Philly IAC meets on Tuesday evenings at 7pm at Calvary. All are welcome!" I'm shocked to watch the government and a compliant media do this again. The people are being bombarded with this message which ignores how the current conflict started and the history of US allies. A million Iranians died at the hands of US backed Iraq. Many Russians died at the hands of those now labeled terrorists in the long Afghanistan war. As a world citizen committed to non-violence, I hate to see Georgian and Russian brothers and sisters killing each other. But the swift Russian intervention was understandable and predictable. Continuing to pump up the revisionism and aggressive NATO arms build up, the government and corporate media just make the country look stupid and hypocritical.
