Why I appose this war

[Guest guest]

One way to know something as wrong action,

is how divisive it is, or in other words:

How much does this action separate people,

or break them into opposing factions.

 

As you can see, this Iraq war has caused a lot

of damage by separating people and countries.

The U.N. from the U.S.,

France and Germany from the U.S. and Britain.

Britain's leader from his people,

Turkeys leader from their people,

and many people in the U.S. fight about this.

 

Thich Nhat Hanh’s Order of Interbeing precepts

are, for me, a good test for right action on

many issues that I face.

 

Please read #8 the order of interbeing below,

and you can see why this war in Iraq is

already wrong action,

without even being executed:

 

8. Community and Communication: Aware that the

lack of communication always brings separation

and suffering, we are committed to training

ourselves in the practice of compassionate

listening and loving speech. We will learn to

listen deeply without judging or reacting and

refrain from uttering words that can create

discord or cause the community to break. We will

make every effort to keep communications open and

to reconcile and resolve all conflicts, however

small.
