Hi Bill,
Is this what you are looking for? This aired on national radio in Canada on November 14th.
"Among the many interesting points in your remembrance days show today, I am missing one, to me, obvious observation. My grandfather fought in WW1, and (with my father) in WW11. My grandfather said it was the war to end all wars. We seem no more peaceful a planet than in the days of those wars. If we want to end war, we will have to face this truth: The means are the ends in the making. Kill Taliban members and there will be many more outraged young men ready to take their places. Martin Luther King said, “We must pursue peaceful ends through peaceful means”.
It is not that I know all the answers, but it is past time that we acknowledge that war and violence has not gotten us the peace that we seek for our world. Let us be unwilling to make the sacrifice in money and blood for nothing. Let us spend our human and material resources on finding real solutions that will make for a real peace.
Sincerely,
Loni Bowers, Victoria, BC

Comment by Winslow Myers on December 22, 2008 at 11:29am - Being otherwise engaged, I cannot do it right now, but one possible suggestion is that some of us write two editorials with essentially the same content, one that polarizes, and one that is truly beyond us-and-them thinking. Then put them next to each other. That might help people learn the rigor of 'a new way of thinking.'
