It is with horror that we imagine what terror we would feel if we were suddenly overwhelmed by armed soldiers, as has happened to the Gaza- bound relief flotilla this week. This incident indicates the desperate need for peaceful alternatives to achieve a just solution in the Middle East. Both the safety of the Israelis and the basic human needs of the Palestinians must be insured by this country as well as by the world of nations in its efforts to build an impartial, legitimate and lasting peace.</div> Fri, 04 Jun 2010 http://peacefultomorrows.org/article.php?id=978 http://peacefultomorrows.org/article.php?id=973 <div class="text blurb">9/11 First responders are honored as they deliver their letters to the students in a Groton school, to be added to the student's Pages for Peace project (www.pagesforpeace.org).

We were disturbed to learn about yesterday’s avoidable incident in which the 747 back-up plane to Air Force One flew so low over Manhattan that, according to a witness, it caused buildings to vibrate and windows to rattle. Many people in lower Manhattan evacuated their offices. “It brought back all the memories of 9/11,” a witnesss was quoted saying to the press. This event is especially troubling because several federal, city, and state agencies had prior knowledge that this event would take place but failed to alert the community." </div> http://peacefultomorrows.org/article.php?id=939 http://peacefultomorrows.org/article.php?id=937 Wed, 11 Mar 2009 http://peacefultomorrows.org/article.php?id=937 http://peacefultomorrows.org/article.php?id=929 <div class="text blurb"><SPAN STYLE="font-size: 144%;">Peaceful Tomorrows extends our heartfelt condolences to the family of Beverly Eckert,</SPAN> tragically killed in the Buffalo plane crash on Thursday, February 12th, and to all the families who have lost loved ones in this disaster.

Once the Taliban fell, the war was touted as a success. However, while public attention shifted to the war in Iraq, the conflict in Afghanistan entered a new phase of violence and decay. </div> http://peacefultomorrows.org/article.php?id=914
