Memorial for NATO Victims-Voice from PakistanAs the Obama administration expressed fury at Pakistani resistance to further NATO war operations and excluded Pakistan's president from the NATO Summit, members of the wider community gathered to memorialize people killed by US airstrikes and drone attacks in Pakistan as well as in the US occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as US/NATO operations in Yemen, Libya, and elsewhere. Recognizing what veterans on Sunday called "the burden of blood that has stained these medals", Trinity Church opened its lawn to expressions of grief and remembrance by the entire community. "While billion dollar deals to continue US and NATO presence in Afghanistan and Pakistan are discussed behind closed doors, we're putting the stories and images of the individual people, and families, harmed by these military actions," said Debra Sweet. "NATO is expected to announce combat troop reductions in Afghanistan, while leaving unresolved -- and hidden -- the daily killings and injuries by drones, detention, night raids that will continue for decades by with the apparatus the US/NATO has put in place there." Local clergy, members of the international community, and protesters who marched Sunday May 20 gathered to emphasize their commitment to ending the wars and occupations -- in all their dimensions -- and focusing on the humanity of those who are often seen as "collateral damage" in modern wars.

Mad Cowboy DiseaseWhen the country goes bonkers for war they always wrap it in the flag and a cowboy image. This song was originally a broadside against the Bush Administration's Neo Con war policies with a humorous rationale for their bellicose behavior. "It must have been the dinner at the Inauguration Ball. There must have been some Mad Cow on the menu after all." Mad Cowboy Disease is a walking cartoon-song influenced by listening to Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs, and other Broadside Balladeers. Photos from US military prisons at Abu Ghraib in Iraq and Guantanamo in Cuba, as well as anti-war photos, are from War Is a Crime (formerly After Downing Street by David Swanson) warisacrime.org The Bush-Cheney administration lied about everything from 9 to WMD in Iraq to their White House discussions led by Condoleezza Rice about which torture techniques to use in their so-called "War on Terror". President Obama, how can we move forward if we can't look at the horrible crimes of the recent past and hold someone accountable? What does that do to respect for the law?
