A call for sanity
The citizens of the United States of America are approaching a time of
critical decision. On their decision, in November, this year, may
depend the future happiness of many millions, not alone American, but
of many other countries. One would have thought that this decision
would not be difficult to make, that the choice was surely obvious to
all who treasure peace and right relation****p.
However, it appears that there are those who think otherwise, who
reserve for themselves the right to invade other countries on the
pretext that they might be plotting harm for them. Such pre-emptive
action, one would have assumed, was long ago abandoned by modern,
civilized states, and relegated to man's illegal past.
Not so, sadly, we are assured. The present American administration,
far from showing remorse for their unjust and cruel invasion of Iraq,
proudly assert, if re-elected, their firm resolve to continue their
programme of pillage in their ‘war on terror'.
A phantom
To fight a ‘war on terror' is to fight a phantom, a useless, costly
and dangerous exercise. Terror is the Hydra, a many-headed monster:
each head severed, as Hercules discovered, is replaced by two. This US
administration, in its arrogance and ignorance, has fallen blindly
into the trap. Those who suffer are the American people, their
victims, and the world as a whole.
There is but one way to deal with terror, to end, forever, this canker
in our midst: to seek its cause.
There are, of course, several causes of terrorism, but above all in
im****tance is the unbalanced distribution of the world's resources.
This creates the dangerous gulf between the nations which drives men
to use terror to realize their dreams. They are desperate men, who
feel they have nothing to lose. There is an immense, untapped army of
such desperate people ready to die, if necessary, for the justice they
long for which, rightly, they see as theirs.
No ‘war on terror' can defeat such an army. No arrogant posturing can
drive them away from the bastions of the Western world.
No nation, however strong, can by itself defeat terrorism. It is born
of the injustice which disfigures this world.
Share
Only when men learn to share will we see the end of terrorism. Only
through sharing can the goal of justice and freedom be realized. Our
appeal to you, citizens of the great and blessed United States of
America, is to think carefully, and from the heart, as is your wont,
when you deliver your vote. Cast your vote for peace, justice and the
rule of Law.

"Politics is about how people live together and economics is about how
we distribute the world's resources. If you are not spiritual, you do
it badly, like today. Who is spiritual — these spiritual teachers you
are talking about, or me, who is interested in how people live? You
cannot talk about spiritual development to people who have to work 16
hours a day for a dollar a day, to keep their family from starving.
The crisis today is a spiritual one, is focused in the political and
economic fields, and can only be resolved in these fields."
