Title A name given to the resource Madison Area Peace Coalition E-mails Description An account of the resource The Madison Area Peace Coalition (MAPC) formed fourteen days after the September 11 attacks to oppose (among other goals) the use of U.S. military, economic, or political force – whether direct or proxy, overt or covert -- "that violates the sovereignty or human rights of any nation or people." The Archive has assembled here e-mails exchanges from MAPC dating from the group's founding until late November 2001.

Regarding this logic... I don't see that as a deterrent really.  I think it's hard for a city to send the message it isn't for peace.  Making the city say it is exactly what we should be doing it seems.  For if it's not true, then they must admit it and that would cause change.  In other words, it's easy to be quiet and tolerant of the abuses of the US government; however, it's hard to explicitly condone or disapprove of those same actions.  It's like denial.  But if we provoke discussion and make people or the city explicitly state their opinion, we will have made great progress.  If there's one characteristic of the "silent majority", it's just that: they are silent.  We should challenge this "majority" to explicitly state their opinion and their rational.  In the end, we aren't going to change anyones mind, they will have to do that for themselves. Furthermore, the best catalyst for thought is debate.
