Time to prepare for the next international demonstration :


20 March 2004 - Global Day of Action - SAVE THE DATE !
The world will once again claim its opposition to war



If you think that it's too late, the war is over, all is
done and we can't do anything about that, please consider
this:
The USA planned wars against Afghanistan and Iraq has taken,
so far, the life of at least 11,000 civilians. That is
about 4 times as much as the victims of the September 11th
war attacks which were immediately condemned by the
international community. The number of victims we caused is
still growing up, as people (mostly children) continue to
die due to the weapons of mass destruction we use like
cluster bombs and napalm-like bombs (MK 77), depleted
uranium munitions, ...
Saddam Hussein is undoubtely a criminal who has to reply of
his acts in front of an International Criminal Court. That
does not give us any legitimacy to crush a country and grab
its resources. Today, many regions in Iraq are still
deprivated of water and electricity. Iraqis have to queue
to get some fuel while we have restored and secured the
pipelines which allow us to export "our" oil.
Now think a moment: CAN WE DO ELSEWHERE SUCH THINGS WE
WOULD NOT TOLERATE IN OUR OWN COUNTRY ?

March 20, 2004 is also a unique opportunity to remind our
governments that democracy is not just about allowing
people to vote once in every few years. Actually, we are
getting far away from the model Abraham Lincoln promised:
"A governement of the people, by the people, for the people"
Citizens are concerned by the politic questions even outside
the elections time. A responsible governement should not
try to keep us away from the administration of our country.
A respectful governement has more consideration for its
citizens than just regarding them as "money makers".
We, the people, can't accept being told Fairy Tales and lies
by those we have elected to represent our interests.
We can't stand by a government which use noble value such
as "freedom", "democracy", "justice" to cover his wrong
doing. We can't support a governement as a model for the
world if it bypass/violate Constitutions, national and
international laws, Treaties and Conventions.
We want "PEOPLE" to be placed back to a position it should
never leave: OVER "PROFIT" !

For all those reasons, we will protest together one more
time. ANOTHER WORLD IS POSSIBLE, WE ARE WORKING ON IT !

[Please distribute this message widely]

Does anyone have a description or review of the great peace concert? No big deal about the audio stream connection failing--just TELL US ALL WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE THERE!!!

There was tremendous interest in this event in the U.S. and we were hoping for some descriptions which might help us inspire musical actions here!
