Stop the war

Stop the war

In a number of countries that have a majority Muslim
population, the American attacks (in Afghanistan) have caused
highly counterproductive upheavals. For example, Indonesia, which
was slowly recovering from a crisis, has started to lurch once
again. The attacks also hold the potential to revive anti-
American sentiments in some of that country's old enemies -- such
as Iraq, Iran and Libya -- and to cause the world to be polarized
into Islamic and non-Islamic camps.

For that reason, once again, the war must be stopped. The
longer it is sustained, the more it will arouse anger in a world
that is against war. However modern the weapons may be, war
remains a primitive way of resolving conflict. War always
destroys and threatens world peace.
