Peace Ideas

   
General NewsA very thoughtful letter, apparently from a Russian reader with a truly humanitarian outlook and viewpoint. We would all be wise to try to embody at least some of his recommendations. Ed.

Nikolai
March 16, 2007

People would be more willing to adopt the views of 911 Truth activists if they felt they were calling for forgiveness rather than retribution and punishment.

The peace movement should call for granting amnesty from prosecution and guarantee of an ample, lifetime pension to anyone who agrees to testify on their roles in the events of 9/11, extending this offer to any members of the US government, foreign governments and/or terrorist groups involved in the planning or execution of the attacks of that day.

Additionally, individuals should step forward and volunteer to spend time working with those who give testimony on crimes they have committed so that they might be reintegrated into society.

Instead of executing Nazi war criminals we should have devoted all the human resources available to us to rehabilitating them, awakening in them awareness of the nature of their actions so that they could have come to understand that they must make amends. If they had remained alive they would have been a living testament to the transformative powers of forgiveness.

Historians and psychologists especially should come out in favor of preserving invaluable study material in the form of the opportunity to converse with the authors of unfortunate historical deeds.

We must find a solution to the existing state of affairs that would be acceptable to both the accusers and the accused. It should solve the problem it sets out to solve without creating additional problems. It should present itself as an ethical means to an ethical end.

ONLY SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION...

This idea does not depend on the media for its dissemination. If you can convince six friends of the merit of the idea and get them to tell six of their own friends tomorrow, each of whom tells six of their friends the next day, and so on, then the idea will reach every person in the world in two weeks (do the math), by word of mouth alone.

I agree with Nicoli only with the understanding that there are two kinds of people, the normal people like most of us who feel for others, and then there are the psychopaths who have no empathy. Unfortunately, these people cannot be rehabilitated and must be removed from society. i am all for granting immunity to those with a semblence of empathy only to get at those who do not.
