MARCH 17, 2003, the day George Bush gave Saddam Hussein 48 hrs to capitulate. The invasion of Iraq had begun..
The fact is that this 'declaration of war', is a disaster. It has been a proven failure, as is all war. Any solution that involves the intentional killing of people and the dismantling of society is a failure. It is a crude, stupid, violent, trashing of humanity.
The HUMANIST MOVEMENT has acknowledged the anniversary of this poorest of decisions, over the past three years, by the assembling of the LIVING PEACE SYMBOL. Thousands of people have gathered in formation in locations across the globe for a truly valid reason - the promotion of Non-Violence & Peace.
This Saturday, March 17, we will be assembling Sydney's first 'Living Peace symbol'.
In true Aussie style, we'll be 'going to the beach' and gathering at -
MANLY BEACH, SOUTHERN END, OCEAN SIDE, opposite Victoria Parade. It would, of course, be great to see you there - the more people, the bigger the symbol!
The time will be 12 midday. Wear something bright/colourful, for photographic effect.
With Peace..
