> Inkworks Press has created 2 windowsigns "Justice, not Vengeance/Let us
not

> Attacks." We've also made flyers of Barbara Lee's speech before congress
on

> More".  These materials are available at Inkworks now, 2827 7th Street,

print

> Letter to the editor:

>
> Before embarking on a massive bombardment of Afghanistan, as called for by
> our highest political and military leaders with apparent wide support from
> an American public shocked, sickened and enraged by Tuesday's horrific
> crimes, we should pause for a moment to understand what and who we will be
> attacking.

>
> Afghanistan is not one man, Osama bin Ladin, nor one ruling movement, the
> Taliban.  It is a nation, a culture, a people, with a civilization
> stretching back 3,000 years.  Over 20 million human beings live in this
> land of desert and rugged, impassable mountains.   A fiercely independent
> people, Afghans have for centuries successfully fought off much greater
> powers, most recently the Soviet Union and the British Empire.
>
>
> In the past twenty years, the people of Afghanistan have suffered an
> unspeakably cruel invasion and internal conflict that killed almost two
> million people and turned three million into refugees.  They now face a
> double oppression from their own brutal government and a UN sanctions
> policy whose bite is felt largely by the poorest of the poor.  Relief
> workers in neighboring Tajikistan report that a new stream of Afghan
> refugees have been reduced to eating grass to survive a severe drought.
> There is literally nothing of economic or military value left standing in
> this devastated country.
>
>
> It may yet be proven that a handful of men inside Afghanistan authored the
> suicide attacks, but for certain the rest of the population knew nothing.
> They are totally innocent.  They will bleed and die just as we do.  They
> will grieve for their loved ones just as we do.  Let all Americans of
> conscience do everything in our power to prevent a second slaughter of
> innocents, a pointless exercise in vengeance that will only further erode
> respect for humanity around the globe.
