first I'd like to than rose for the beautiful logo.

the idea for this group sprung to my mind after I receive a message from Mohamad sh.

he wrote:

Dear everyone,

As you all see my list, i have a 120 friends, part of them palestinian, others from israel and also some from other arab countries and others like USA , EU, and more, i would like to ask a sensitive question to my friends from israel, and also other are welcome to answer it: everyone of us here talking peace, and about peace, and sounds for me life on this is is so great and lovely, seems no hatred and racism, no occupation and war, from big part of the comments i read mostly we say: we want peace, and here is my question: WHEN WE SAY PEACE, WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THIS NICE WORD, WHAT KIND OF PEACE WE WANT, WHERE COULD BE OUR LIMITES, BORDERS AND WHAT CAN WE GIVE TO MAKE PEACE REAL, LOTS OF QUESTIONS THAT FOR SURE NEED A DEEP THINKING TO SATISFY OUR NEEDS.
THANKS

So I answered:

That a really good question. I thank you for it, Mohamad. Peace means a great deal of different things to many people. It is a very personal question. I can tell you about the first things that come to my mind when I close my eyes and think of peace. I see no more wars. I see a time when my grandchildren don't have to spend 3 years of their lives in the army. I see equality and respect between peoples and nations. I see my Arab friends come to visit me at home, I see us going to the beach together. I see myself hanging out with my Lebanese friends in Beirut. But most of all, I see myself being able to get in the car with my dad (who is 87 years old) and 2 sons, and drive to Baghdad, Iraq, through Jordan or Syria. In Baghdad he takes us to the house he was born in, and to all the places he told us so many stories about. There, we close a circle.
These dreams might sound trivial to many, but these simple acts have been denied of so many people in the Middle East.

What would I give for REAL peace? Almost everything.


Then I thought, why limit it to Mohamad's friends. It's an important question. Why not open it up for everybody in iPeace?

Last summer I attended a lecture by Arun Gandhi (grandson of Mahatma Gandhi) & Mairead Corrigan Maguire (Nobel Peace Prize winner) in the Scottish Parliament, here in the historic & beautiful city of Edinburgh.

Mairead spoke of nurturing & cultivating love & peace within yourself, and then sharing it. Arun quoted his Grandfather who spoke of the seed of peace. If this seed is kept in a box it will wither & die. However, if the seed is exposed to the elements it will grow & flourish!

The message is clear, share your peace & let it grow & flourish.

And, with this in mind, please embrace the philosophy behind this movement and share your passion for peace by reaching out and inviting your friends.

Prime Minister of Japan, Naoto Kan, said Sunday that the country faces its worst crisis since the end of World War II, after the massive earthquake and subsequent tsunami that hit the nation last Friday.

Facing the situation, Kan urged union citizens. The prime minister said the situation is "worrying," while they showed their gratitude and respect "for calm with which the Japanese people faced the earthquake - which stood at 9 degrees of magnitude, the worst that it has record in the country.

-----------------------------

O primeiro-ministro do Japão, Naoto Kan, afirmou neste domingo que o país vive sua pior crise desde o final da Segunda Guerra Mundial, após o forte terremoto e o consequente tsunami que atingiram a nação na última sexta-feira.

Diante do quadro, Kan pediu união aos cidadãos. O primeiro-ministro afirmou que a situação é "preocupante", ao mesmo tempo em que mostrou sua gratidão e "respeito" pela calma com que a população japonesa enfrentou o terremoto --que atingiu 9 graus de magnitude, o pior de que se tem registro no país.

Alerta Nuclear
Explosão é ouvida em usina nuclear no Japão; governo amplia área de evacuação na região

Segundo a televisão pública NHK, vários funcionários da usina nuclear Fukushima 1 ficaram feridos após explosão que ocorreu às 16h (horário local), por razões desconhecidas. Um tremor foi sentido e fumaça pode ser vista na região da usina. O oficial do distrito de Fukushima, no nordeste do Japão, Masato Abe, disse que a causa ainda está sob investigação e não está claro se houve realmente uma explosão. Ainda segundo a TV japonesa, o teto e os muros do reator nuclear foram derrubados.

As autoridades japonesas estenderam neste sábado a 20 km o raio de evacuação da população nas proximidades da central nuclear de Fukushima, onde foi registrada explosão, depois do terremoto de sábado que devastou o nordeste do país.
De acordo com informações da imprensa local, o nível de radioatividade na área é 20 vezes superior ao normal e césio radioativo foi encontrado próximo da usina, que enfrenta uma série de problemas desde o forte terremoto de 8,9 pontos na Escala Richter que atingiu o Japão na sexta-feira (11).

A radioatividade recebida em uma hora por uma pessoa na usina nuclear de Fukushima corresponde ao limite anual admissível, disse neste sábado a agência de notícias Kyodo.

Mais cedo, foi informado que radioatividade registrada na sala de controle do reator da central de Fukushima 1 atingiu um nível mil vezes superior ao normal neste sábado, após problemas de refrigeração provocados pelo terremoto seguido de tsunami que assolou a região nordeste do país.

Mais cedo, o governo decretou situação de emergência na Fukushima 1. O nível de radioatividade ao redor da usina é oito vezes superior ao normal, informou a agência Jiji Press. Dentro da usina, a radioatividade é mil vezes superior ao usual por conta de uma falha no sistema de refrigeração, segundo a agência Kyodo, que cita uma comissão de segurança da usina.

Dos 55 reatores nucleares em funcionamento no Japão em 17 locais, 11 foram afetados pelo terremoto, informou na noite de sexta-feira a Autoridade francesa de Segurança Nuclear (ASN), que acompanha a evolução da situação nas centrais nucleares japonesas.

A Força Aérea americana enviou um líquido de resfriamento para uma usina nuclear japonesa nesta sexta-feira, horas depois de o país ter registrado o maior terremoto de sua história. A secretária de Estado americana, Hillary Clinton, afirmou que a ação foi tomada depois de operadores da usina terem afirmado que a instalação não tinha líquido suficiente.

Nuclear Alert
Explosion is heard in the nuclear power plant in Japan; government extends evacuation area in the region

NHK public television said several employees of a Fukushima nuclear power plant were injured after an explosion that occurred at 16h (local time), for unknown reasons. A tremor was felt and smoke can be seen in the region of the plant. The officer of the district of Fukushima, northeastern Japan, Masato Abe, said the cause is still under investigation and it is unclear whether there really was a blast. Also according to Japanese TV, ceiling and walls were knocked down nuclear reactor.

The Japanese authorities on Saturday extended to 20 km radius of the evacuation of people near the nuclear plant in Fukushima, where explosion was recorded after Saturday's earthquake that devastated the northeast.
According to local press reports, the level of radioactivity in the area is 20 times higher than normal radioactive cesium was found near the plant, which faces a series of problems since the massive earthquake of 8.9 on the Richter Scale that struck Japan on Friday (11).

The radioactivity received in one hour by one person in the Fukushima nuclear power plant corresponds to the allowable annual limit, said Saturday the Kyodo news agency.

Earlier it was reported that radioactivity recorded in the control room of reactor core Fukushima 1 reached a thousand times higher than normal on Saturday after cooling problems caused by the earthquake and tsunami that struck the northeastern region of the country.

Earlier, the government declared an emergency in Fukushima 1. The level of radioactivity around the plant is eight times higher than normal, the agency Jiji Press. Inside the plant, radioactivity is a thousand times higher than usual due to a failure in the cooling system, according to Kyodo, citing a security commission the plant.

Of the 55 nuclear reactors operating in Japan at 17 sites, 11 were affected by the earthquake, said late on Friday the French Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN), which follows the developments in nuclear power plants in Japan.

The U.S. Air Force sent a cooling liquid to a Japanese nuclear plant on Friday, hours after the country had registered the biggest earthquake in its history. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, said the action was taken after plant operators have asserted that the facility had not enough liquid.
