United For Peace

One year later. No Weapons of Mass Destruction have been found. No stockpile of chemical weapons, no uranium, no mobile biological weapons labs. No link between Saddam Hussein and the 9/11 attacks, nor link between Hussein and Osama bin Laden. No imminent threat, nor grave danger to the rest of the world. No gathering threat of a mushroom cloud.

How does one commemorate the anniversary for the lies that we have been told? How does one properly honor all the lives that are needlessly lost when they are lost for an unjust war? How does one offer rememberance for the lost limbs of the crippled and scarred? How does one give ceremony for the billions of dollars spent on a needless war that is based on lies and deception?

Starting today and thoroughout the weekend, people across the United States and around the world are holding peace vigils to direct their energies toward a more peaceful future. There are several events being held in the islands, including a 5-hour Sunday concert at the Ala Moana Park, McCoy Pavilion. Here is a list of peace events throughout the islands. If you are not in the islands, the link also provides information on peace vigils in your area.

I can only think of one answer. Register to vote, and vote against BUSH2!

(It might be better to vote for Kerry than Nader, unfortunately.)

It's unquestionably better to vote Kerry than Nader.
