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. September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end.    People are saying this is not Vietnam, and they're getting away with it.    Last night I was leafletting at the Dylan concert.  A wall of indifference.  I'm sure my leafletting technique could use some improvement.   But still, fans don't connect this anti-war singer to peace.    And Feingold Sunday at the Pyle Center.  He defended our bombing in Afghanistan as justified self-defense, just after he mentioned (bragged?) that he had protested against the Vietnam War right outside that building. It's maddening that he's trying to get credit for a past anti-war stance, while firmly siding with the status quo now.    The Nation's Katha Pollitt recently stated that this war is not like Vietnam.  She took potshots at the peace movement, and repeated the mantra: this war is justified self defense.  Then in the end she agreed it's a stupid and wrong-headed approach, exactly as she initially characterized Vietnam.    Castro's speech handed out at the last Socialist Potluck showed some valid parallels between this war and Vietnam.  The vague goal, the unidentifiable enemy, and now the advisors going in.    September 11th is functioning as a pretext, and people won't acknowledge it.  Several thousand Americans are killed, so that gives us the right to starve several MILLION Afghanis?  That gives us the right to wage war against any number of countries, and use WHATEVER methods and weapons we want?    How can we tap into Americans' belief that Vietnam was wrong, so that they will see this war is wrong in the same way? _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp _______________________________________________ discuss@madpeace.org mailing list http://lists.OpenSoftwareServices.com/mailman/listinfo/madpeace-discuss September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.
