Out of the Marathon Bombings – A Boston Peace Movement Converstation
Friends, We convened a meeting here at the AFSC yesterday to talk about how best to respond to Monday’s terrorist attack. I was asked to write up our thoughts and initial prescriptions and thought I’d send them on to you. As indicated in the article, with the dead and severely wounded here, it’s too early to be pressing the point that this is what the U.S. does on a day to day basis, though I’ve pointed in that direction. http://afsc.org/story/out-marathon-bombings-conversation-boston-area-peace-activists … Continue reading →
Asia-Pacific Working Group – Recent Articles
Friends, The U.S.-Korean crisis continues.

But the crisis could grow more intense as the U.S. and South Korean navies move into the third military “exercise” near or in West Sea waters claimed by both North and South Korea.

We note with concern the current escalation of tension in the Korean Peninsula and are categorically opposed to any state threatening to use aggressive action against another, especially if that threat involves the possible use of nuclear weapons.

Donilon on NATO & Trans-Atlantic & Trans-Pacific Free Trade Agreements
Friends, Apologies if it seems like you are being barraged by e-mails. When we met in Gent, I made reference to the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the U.S. effort to create the world’s most intense free trade area, in part to wed Korea, Japan and other Asia-Pacific nations – but NOT China – not only to the U.S. economy, but to further integrate these societies.

Friends, I thought that you might find the following disturbing article about U.S. simulated nuclear attacks on North Korea as part of the current war games of interest. I don’t normally look at the Washington Free Beacon, but in seeking to confirm the veracity of an e-mail message, I was channeled there by the conservative Weekly Standard,. There seem to be enough stories- including Business Week- on the web to confirm the following report and statements by Pentagon press secretary … Continue reading →
