They seem to "get it." <BR/><BR/>Thank you for participating and especially for writing this lengthy, passionate, and honest account of what war means. It was personal and poignant.<BR/><BR/>Peace to you and yours.Mimi Lenoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616635898420835541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-17590758679485736032007-11-10T11:28:00.000-06:002007-11-10T11:28:00.000-06:00Hi Julie, thanks for all you thoughts on peace. I...Hi Julie, thanks for all you thoughts on peace. <BR/><BR/>I have a few technical questions that you seem to have mastered. How did you get the master list for the Blogblast for Peace? Every time I try to create a Mr. Linky for the Blogblast meme, it starts with an empty list. And also how do you add friends in NaBloPoMo? I can see the pages of my friends but can't for the life of me figure out how to add them. I'm not usually so internet challenged!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09384193725703209859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-28937036189257319862007-11-09T05:44:00.000-06:002007-11-09T05:44:00.000-06:00Brilliant, Julie!Brilliant, Julie!Gunfighterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05762432006297768871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-22766366214938376642007-11-07T22:06:00.000-06:002007-11-07T22:06:00.000-06:00i was going to say that we are all one and therefo...i was going to say that we are all one and therefore should not be fighting but Chani said it first (and better)Girlplustwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07056576921114387218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-92179886128417124512007-11-07T20:39:00.000-06:002007-11-07T20:39:00.000-06:00You have much wisdom...as you learn from the lesso...You have much wisdom...as you learn from the lessons these great people have to teach.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-76223594295641161262007-11-07T20:17:00.000-06:002007-11-07T20:17:00.000-06:00well done, Juliewell done, Julieflutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11828689769747130419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-60851212609427876292007-11-07T16:25:00.000-06:002007-11-07T16:25:00.000-06:00Wonderfully written...thank you for sharing your t...Wonderfully written...thank you for sharing your thoughts today<BR/><BR/>Searching For A Peaceful World on <A HREF="http://bondsbigleathercouch.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow"/><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dona_nobis_pacem" REL="nofollow">SEE "BLOGBLAST FOR PEACE" IN WIKIPEDIA</A>Vinny "Bond" Marinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033455144526676371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-29747577402638178382007-11-07T16:01:00.001-06:002007-11-07T16:01:00.001-06:00julie--you are simply the best. the best.julie--you are simply the best. <BR/><BR/>the best.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662448292809451387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-41302398595365285882007-11-07T16:01:00.000-06:002007-11-07T16:01:00.000-06:00Julie.Wow.

How sweet your admiration of him and the recalling of your experiences with him through his life. <BR/><BR/>And your sweet Patience. I remember Christmas 2001, my eldest daughter (4 at the time) asked me to write down her letter to Santa. At the very end, she dictated: <BR/><BR/>P.S. Please take something very nice to the children in Afghanistan. They might not have chimneys or even houses, but they are nice children and should have toys. Thank you.<BR/><BR/>I wept as I wrote it down for her. <BR/>Perhaps the 4 year olds should be our international peace ambassadors to the world.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14022976523785423847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-66572661073822667812007-11-07T15:14:00.000-06:002007-11-07T15:14:00.000-06:00It looks like our minds headed in similar directio...It looks like our minds headed in similar directions with this post, only yours is much more thorough!<BR/><BR/>I have absolutely no idea how I'm going to explain war to my kids.

She was deeply worried, and I thought, how fortunate we are I can provide the reassurances that allow her to feel relief and safe and go back to happy play. And my heart broke twice more thinking about the two groups of other people who can't do this.<BR/><BR/>*******************<BR/><BR/>Jeff, I like that one too, and the Gide and the Dalai, and oh shoot, all of them LOL.<BR/><BR/>***************************<BR/><BR/>Exskindiver, thank you! That is the bottom line, isn't it?<BR/><BR/>**************************<BR/><BR/>Family Adventure, you know, you are the second questioner about that. Maybe I need to post it, LOL. I will admit I got up at about 6:15, wrote this post and it's posted at, umm, probably an hour later? Oh, dude, half an hour later. So umm hmm that's how long. I can't quantify how long my brain works on it. I think *all the time.* Deeply. I tire myself out LOL. And I pull ideas together. So when I sit down to write, it's all typing, mainly. Half an hour of typing and probably days of thinking, checking on things, and pulling ideas together.<BR/><BR/>But in truth, as much as I do in my head, it's a weird process of sitting down to type because these words and ideas just flow. I think...I'm just a conduit.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes what ends up coming out is a surprise to me.<BR/><BR/>Like this post about peace. This post that came out was not the original plan.<BR/><BR/>Now...the women question. Dude, that is HUGE.<BR/><BR/>No, I do not think a woman or man will make a difference because both in power seem to feel compelled to uphold this model of In Charge and Not Afraid to be Ruthless. That's supposed to be strong. And leaders must be strong.<BR/><BR/>I don't care what gender...the person who is Not Afraid to be Compassionate...that's the REALLY STRONG person and that's who can be assured of my support.<BR/><BR/>I had a local candidate like that here. I was 110% behind him. He lost.<BR/><BR/>Candidates aren't the only ones who married to the idea that Ruthless = Strong and Necessary.<BR/><BR/>********************************<BR/><BR/>Acey, thank you!<BR/><BR/>********************************<BR/><BR/>Chani, an on point and well-considered comment that hits home, as always.

Yes, mommies and daddies are fighting. It is because we want to defend and protect our country and its people, which is honorable. Yes, so-and-so's daddy is at the war. Yes, that is where Baby so-and-such's daddy went. It is far away, not where we live. No, not even on our continent. Yes, there are children where the war is. Yes, I agree, they must be very, very frightened. Me too, baby, me too, I am also glad for us it is not here and sad for them.</I><BR/><BR/>Sigh. Beautiful.

How much time does it take you to research your posts? I do not mean to take the focus off this very, very worthwhile topic, but just to say thank you for always giving us such food for thought.<BR/><BR/>These quotes are shockingly similar in their message. Why can't those in power see this before a war is started?<BR/><BR/>Can I ask you something else - what do you think about the idea that there would be more peace if more women were in positions of power? <BR/><BR/>Or is it the position that corrupts? <BR/><BR/>HeidiFamily Adventurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00093360285075029799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-41521251210174556502007-11-07T08:45:00.000-06:002007-11-07T08:45:00.000-06:00a lovely, well considered post.

We also have to get beyond the entire concept of patriotism and superiority. "My country is better than your country", "My country is morally superior to yours", "My daddy can beat up your daddy." It's a stupidity whose time has come and long gone. <BR/><BR/>If you used the concept of "just war", WWII might have some merit although I question even that, given the historical inaccuracies in that reporting as well. <BR/><BR/>But wars for imperialism and protecting business interests is never just. <BR/><BR/>Just my two baht.thailandchanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10171731740204067889noreply@blogger.com
