Following recent TIG dicussions on the War against terrorism, I would like to explore the potential for channeling the energy, inspiration and motivation of TIG members and the global youth community to conduct a petition against the war on terrorism.

Okay then...

Do you think that it would be possible for us to start our own petition against the War? With the aim of showing our world leaders that tomorrow's leaders (or future generations) are not interested in leaders of today taking (backwards) steps that will further jeopardise our prospects for a sustainable and more peaceful future??

I've never done anything like this before, but this is no doubt the most important issue facing us today (and maybe even our lifetime!), and we have 2 choices....(1) to accept that whatever happens is completely out of our control and helplessly do nothing about it.... or (2).... accept that despite the situation seeming completely out of our control... empower ourselves to do something about it anyway!

I realise that we are all probably very busy and don't have time to be fussing around trying to figure out how to start a global email petition... and I'm no exception to this!!! Eeeek!!! WHAT AM I GETTING MYSELF INTO!?!?! but if we don't do anything about it ASAP, our window of opportunity is fast closing... and we might just lose our chance!!!

Any ideas?!?! comments?!?! (in major need for expertise on the technicalities of conducting an email petition!!!)

For anyone reading this on the Updates page... this has been posted in the discussion room under "Peace and War"..."War Against Terrorism"!! ... there is further discussion and links to more information... on this issue!


...Oh and by the way... thank you Raymond/dtlq for your response and links to the related web pages... very insightful, yet I could not sign the petition, as it did not recognise my post code!!! Typical for us ozzies!!! ;)
