Celebrating Peace! ( GandhiGuy, are you kidding…? )

Is it possible to celebrate peace in the face of Mr. Bush’s never-ending occupation and destruction of Iraq?
Is it possible to celebrate peace as thousands of our courageous women and men have died, and the latest Iraqi civilian casualties are listed at 1.2 million dead?
Peace is within our grasp at any moment. The madness of King George is corporate driven, profit and oil designed, and no friend to anyone except those who profit from the funding of this horrible war.
How can I then suggest that we celebrate peace? Stay with me for just a moment, and I’ll explain.
We can celebrate peace because right now, you who are here with us at GandhiGuy.com are part of the largest movement for kindness, compassion, and love ever to evolve on this planet. You are a member of the greatest number of people, ever, to be working for justice, peace, freedom and sustainability.
You are part of the largest human movement ever, right here, right now, and as a member of GandhiGuy.com, you matter!
There are literally millions and millions of like-minded people across the world, people just like you and me, who are fed up with the war profiteers and war-mongers, fed up with being told to be afraid all the time, and fed up with killing for oil. Millions of us are working day in and day out for peace, for people to be treated fairly and justly, for you and I to be able to hold our children at night and tell them that we are doing all that we can for a better world.
You are part of that movement for peace, this inevitable surge that is growing by the millions daily, and sending out a ripple of love and goodwill, of peace and courage, a movement that is drawing a line in the sand and saying in the words of the old spiritual hymn, "We ain’t gonna plan for war no more!"
Be happy, and celebrate the inevitability of peace. It’s here now, in the form of you and me, of millions more just like us, who are working so hard for peace. It’s just a matter of time till it gets here, till this horrifying war is over, so take heart.
You matter. Never give up, never lose heart. You matter, because you won’t give up. Just like all the millions of the rest of us.
With love and humility for standing next to you,
Don, aka "Gandhi Guy"

Here’s a quick excerpt: Is it possible to celebrate peace in the face of Mr. Bush’s never-ending occupation and destruction of Iraq?…
From GandhiGuy: I think it is possible to celebrate peace, in and out of Mr. Bush’s permanent war of occupation. You just have to look elsewhere, outside of the White House, cuz from all indications from the last 8 years, and their leanings into the future, they are intent on continuing this immoral war endlessly. So, look elsewhere for peace—but never give up looking, as signs are everywhere! Love and peace are breaking out all over the world–we have simply to jump into peace, harmony and love actions, and you’ll be a part of the largest human movement ever on the planet! Just dive in!
