World Peace is Coming - Really!

2010-04-05T01:44:35.546Z

World Peace is Coming, and it will be here within 20 years!

3 Main reasons for this:

1 - Our world is improving every single day, bringing us closer to having a world that both believes in and strives for a world peace reality.

2 - We are uniting like never before. The Internet and other technologies are fostering the creating of a global village, making it so we no longer view people of other nations as being enemies, but rather, part of our own extended family.

3 - With Unity comes Solidarity, and Solidarity is power. We will use our powerful international communities to make our world everything we want it to be.

Rachel Corrie died under the wheels of a US made bulldozer

The Death of Rachel Corrie
By Carlos

They counted on the bulldozer to stop.

"I couldn't believe it. I was sure the bulldozer would stop," said Tom Dale, 18, a member of Rachel Corrie's group. "When we arrived she was still alive but had blood all over her face."

They counted on the Israelis' basic human values.

"[The Israeli troops] have shot over our heads, and shot near our feet — they have fired tear gas at us," said Michael Shaik, the group's media coordinator. "But we thought we had an understanding. We didn't think they would kill us."

They dared to protest because they know the Israelis play by civilized rules, rules not binding on the people they came to support. But no rule can protect people from their own foolishness.

On March 16, 2003, in the town of Rafah in southern Gaza, Rachel Corrie, 23, an "international peace protester," dropped to her knees in front of an Israeli bulldozer. The bulldozer was clearing away foliage used to hide bombs. She expected it to stop, but it kept moving, trapping her under its tracks. An ambulance took her to Ajar hospital, where she died.

The protesters called it murder, even though they repeatedly defied warnings to leave the area, and even though a preliminary investigation determined that the driver of the bulldozer could not see Rachel Corrie. According to the inquiry, "the windows of the bulletproof bulldozer are very small and the visibility is very limited, and the bulldozer operator did not see the woman."

Nevertheless the murder charge has persisted. The group to which Rachel Corrie belonged, the International Solidarity Movement, even published "before" and "after" pictures claiming to show that the bulldozer operator could in fact see her.
