« Why of course the people don’t want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don’t want war: neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. »
« All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country. »

Please contact federal
elected officials to tell them you want international conflicts to
be resolved throught the United Nations General Assembly and through the
World Court, not through war, in which innocent civilians inevitably suffer
the most casualties and long term disadvantage through environmental and
economic devastation.

Dear Prime Minister,
I join the millions of Canadian and American citizens together with
world-wide religious, environmental, labour, peace and human rights groups
calling for an end to military aggression against foreign countries.
Canada must respect international law. Conflict must be resolved through
the United Nations and in accordance with the Geneva Conventions prohibiting
the destruction of civilians and civilian infrastructure. Please
ensure that Canada takes a leading
role in addressing the root causes of injustice, poverty and violence.
Sincerely, ________________________
