Dona Nobis Pacem



Analysts say Russia's relations with the West are at their lowest point since the Cold War.


Turkey denied a report on Wednesday it had launched a major incursion into northern
Iraq to crush Kurdish rebels, but a military source said troops had conducted a limited raid across the mountainous border.

An alleged plot to blow up New York's main airport has sparked fears about militant Islam in the Caribbean but experts say the region's main security risks remain drug gangs and smuggling rackets.

Twin car bombings struck intersections near Baghdad's most revered Shiite shrine Wednesday. The military said the buildup of some 30,000 extra U.S. troops aimed at stopping such attacks is nearly complete but it could take up to two months for the newly arrived reinforcements to be fully effective.

Sudan's government and the pro-government Arab militias, known as the Janjaweed, are accused of war crimes against the region's black African population


"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)


"What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?"

Mahatma Gandhi (1869 - 1948), "Non-Violence in Peace and War"



"Either war is obsolete or men are."

R. Buckminster Fuller (1895 - 1983), New Yorker, Jan. 8, 1966


"War is a cowardly escape from the problems of peace."

Thomas Mann (1875 - 1955)


Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
