Subject: seems to be forgetting the conservatives against war
In reply to: J Strang 's message, "Who are these peace protestors??" on 09:34:21 04/01/03 Tue

and the veterans against war, religious leaders. I know some people would like to convince themselves that peace protestors are left wing hippies, therefore dismissable, but there are other groups. In fact if you look at the make-up of the peace protestors in the usa and around the world they come from all walks of life, ages and political/religious persuasions. Even PResidents Bush's own church has declared it is against the war and gone to protest rallies.

And us churches prepare for civil actions against war:

"Take Peter Gomes, Baptist minister, Plummer professor of morals at Harvard, and die-hard Republican. He gave the blessing at Reagan's second inauguration and preached at George Bush Senior's inauguration service. Here is Gomes in a recent sermon: "I demand a better excuse than revenge or oil for the prosecution of a war that is likely to do more harm than good, that will destabilize not only the region but also the world for years to come, and that will confirm ... our country's reputation as an irrational and undisciplined bully."

The senior Anglican bishop in the US, Frank Griswold, put it stronger still: "We are loathed, and I think the world has every right to loathe us, because they see us as greedy, self-interested and ... unconcerned about poverty, disease and suffering."
