Dear Anne, I have forwarded your affirmation to Bundeskanzler Gerhard Schröder who is taking an unusually tough stance against a military intervention in Irak. I told him that it would not surprise me if your affirmation - which I fully share as an US-citizen living in Berlin and elsewhere on this planet - mirrored more closely the feelings and beliefs of USAmericans than the warthreatening pose of our President. Peace and Love michael
--Original Message Text--- From: Anne Stadler Date: Sat, 7 Sep 2002 19:01:25 -0700 FW: Sept. 11th a Memorial Affirmation Here is the affirmation I am making re. Sept. 11th. If you wish to join me, please communicate your views publicly in whatever way you choose. I have sent this letter to several newspapers, and to my Congress people and to you. Blessings, Anne Sept. 11th, Memorial Affirmation: On Sept. 11th, 2001, the terrorists chose death. The rescuers and many of us who rushed to help chose love and life. A fitting memorial to those who died on 9/11 would be for each of us to make the choice the rescuers did. Here is how I want to honor those who died: I say: Enough war. Enough killing. I give my gifts to creating a world without war. I accept my responsibility for the well-being of the human family and the larger living world. I want my government leaders to use our treasure on behalf of life. I say to them: Don t make the same choice the terrorists did. Stop making war. Bend every effort to provide safety through building a just, sustainable and peaceful global society. I would rather accept the risks of change in this direction just as they did who rushed in to rescue people on Sept. 11, 2001. Sincerely yours, Anne M.
