The last seven days has been an eventful time in the world of politics, a lot of questions have been asked about the rights and wrongs of war, both in Syria and more generally.
On which note I would like to make people aware of two upcoming events.
Four weeks today in Louisiana, USA, sentences will be handed down to three brave individuals who broke into an American military base and symbolically dis-armed weaponry. their actions was a well planned act of non-violent resistance to American military violence.
We can all support them by writing to the judge, see details as this link:

Also,
All through next week the biggest Arms Fair in the world will be taking place in London (www.dsei.co.uk/). Many of the world's most discredited regimes will be welcomed to buy weapons.
