[W]henever we step away from patriotism and rationally analyze these arguments, they make no sense. Saying that we must stay in Iraq to preserve national credibility is saying that we should continue to waste the lives of our young people in a war that, even according to military experts, is already lost. To say that we must not allow those who have already died to have lost their lives in vain is to say that, to prevent them from having lost their lives in vain, more people should die in vain. How rational is that?...

When the World Said No to War

I am an author and the editor of a large format photographic book bringing together photos taken around the world on the weekend of 14, 15 and 16th February 2003: the weekend the world demonstrated against war.

We are seeking contact with individuals (professional or amateur) who many have taken photos of demonstrations that weekend and would be keen to have them shown internationally, in both an exhibition and an historical book documenting that weekend. We are looking for photos from diverse locations. They can be of one person or one million people demonstrating.

The book will also include short essays from individuals from all walks of life about war, peace, or that day.

Interested parties are encouraged to visit the web site of When the World Said No to War http://www.whentheworldsaidnoorg and read the information booklet there. Anyone interested in submitting their photographs for the book and/or the exhibition and want to know more about the project please send an email to jamesrobert004@hotmail.com

This book is intended to be an important historical record capturing the inspiration of that weekend for posterity.

I encourage you to pass this email on.

Regards,

JR

Uncovered:

An impressive roster of experts is assembled to provide a generally withering commentary on the quality of evidence and possible motivations of the Neoconservatives who provided the momentum and muscle behind America's venture into preemptive war. The fig leaf of the possibility of an honest mistake on the matter of WMDs is stripped away; what is left is the stark and disturbing anatomy of deliberate deceit...
