Extractions: John Steinbach is Secretary of the Hiroshima/Nagasaki Peace Committee, and co-author of Deadly Radiation Hazards USA. Today he joins me for an enthusiastic (yet serious) interview on the nuclear danger of Bush's war. Read his latest EXCELLENT article at : www.wagingpeace.org/articles/02.03/0331steinbachisraeli.htm ; With all the discussion and debate on the political/financial horrors of Bush's war in Iraq, no one is speaking about the unspeakable - the NUCLEAR danger of it. John contends that this administration is made up of extremists who could very well use nuclear weapons as a show of force. Imagine what that would prompt on the world from the other countries that hold nuclear weapons?; What will Russia do if they feel threatened by pre-emptive action? North Korea? Iran? India?Pakistan? Israel? China? These are not items that can be ignored. Check out www.ieer.org
Extractions: FOOTNOTES The end of the Cold War, which paralyzed the United Nations from its inception, was a cause for celebration and hope. Following the historic Security Council Summit Meeting of January 1992, the then Secretary-General of the United Nations, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, spoke of a growing conviction "among nations large and small, that an opportunity has been regained to achieve the great objectives of the U.N. Charter (Charter) a United Nations capable of maintaining international peace and security, of securing justice and human rights and of promoting, in the words of the Charter, 'social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom.'" He warned, however, that this opportunity "must not be squandered," and that the United Nations "must never again be crippled as it was in the era that has now passed."

Terrorism And American Foreign Policy They believe we can and should take peace and human rights seriously. For compliance with intl Court of Justice decision for Nicaragua vs. US. http://www.robert-fisk.com/robert_elias_25sept2001.htm
Extractions: Professor of sociology at University of San Francisco, California http://www.tanbou.com/2001/fall/USForeignPolicyElias.htm The US has suffered terrible crimes from the terrorist attacks two weeks ago. They have taken a horrible toll in lost lives, and have shaken the nation to its foundations. Weve felt a rush of emotions, including horror, fear, grief, sorrow, anger and even calls for revenge. As a person from New York, I take the terrorism very personally. I have family, friends and acquaintances there, and Im still not sure about all of them. Im very angry about the senseless deaths. These terrorists and their acts are despicable, and the perpetrators must be brought to justice. In response to these acts, our emotions are understandable, and we should do nothing to belittle these feelings. It almost seems blasphemous to suggest that we add to these emotions a part of us that also thinks about what happened and why. And yet theres a need, beyond our feelings, also to understand. Why did this happen to us? Our leaders in Washington have rushed in with their response, and theres the danger that we, the people, will be left behind or left completely susceptible to Washingtons lead rather than making up our own minds about why this happened, and what to do. Unfortunately, in trying to understand why this terrorism has occurred, weve been given little help by those upon which we rely for information. Our educational system has provided us neither the history nor the critical perspective to understand. Our officials refuse to ask the question why, except in terms of stereotypes that divert us from the causes and focus us instead on the symptoms. And most crucially, our mainstream media has almost exclusively parroted official analyses and solutions, acting not like watchdogs but rather like lapdogs. Officials and our media operate essentially under the assumption that there can be no question of why, since theres nothing we could have conceivably done that has anything to do with provoking terrorism.

In addition to serving as Pres. of the NGO, World Wildlife Fund, Lubbers was also Prime Minister of the Netherlands from 1982-1994. For months, the NGO consortium, ICVA, has urged that the "process for the next UNHCR (be) opened up to other stakeholders, including NGOs. A transparent selection process would help to ensure the increased accountability of governments and the UN." The final decision was not transparent. Many expected that long-time UNHCR official Sergio Vieira de Mello (OCHA & E Timor head) would be chosen. But his long-term association with Sec. Gen. Kofi Annan weakened his candidacy, since the Sec Gen. needed to avoid the appearance of favoritism.
