Challenge
Non-political solutions to the Iraq war
The American response to the Iraq war has been just as divisive as the war itself. On one side are hawks, who support the use of force, and on the other are doves, who condemn the war-makers.
In this Challenge we will ask a spokesperson for Alaskans for Peace & Justice, and a representative from an organization which supports the war, to say something that is good and true about the side that they oppose.
There is a resolution to intractable global conflicts which is lasting and deep, which involves neither force nor retreat. The transformation of deep-seated human ‘realities’ is possible, but we must be willing to enter into others’ hearts.
One of the goals of Alaska Humanity News is to explore everyday events and situations that escape attention because they are omnipresent. CHALLENGES is one of these features. Look through this edition to find other unusual features.
Send us news about perplexing contradictions, about unexamined assaults on everyday life, and we will take a look inside the news, and outside the box, and publicize it. See page 4 for a look at last month’s Challenge: Working conditions in Alaskan canneries.
Coming soon: the official response.
