[Peace-discuss] AWARE's other mention yesterday in the Daily Illini

[Morton K. Brussel]

Thanks Brian for your reflection. What I said was:

"Finally, let us remember that we have often faulted the German  
people for having gone along with Hitler’s aggressions, occupations,  
and dreadful persecutions. I suspect that we would reject the notion  
that they had to support their troops and their government in  
whatever they did in those terrible WWII years. Our situation now is  
similar, if less dire, but differs most importantly in that in our  
country we are still free to express our wishes that war and  
occupation are wrong and harmful and must be stopped. The Germans had  
far lesser options."

I believe the parallel is important in making folks realize that our  
foreign policy is a local issue when its consequences are ignored by  
our reps in Congress. --Anyway, they can't fire me, but I suppose  
they can burn me at the stake.
