Welcome to the new "Cyber Home" of South Mississippi United for Peace.

We are a diverse group of people, of different backgrounds and political opinions, who are self-motivated to unite for protest of our government's perpetual war policy.

We realize that the final solutions must be political, but United for Peace is not the vehicle for that effort.  Peace and social justice can be achieved by the strengthening of the worldwide people's movement that has sprung into existence in recent months.

Our website is full of links to other Peace sites, email addresses for our legislators, upcoming events you can get involved with and some writings from some truly great intellectuals.

No matter where you are in the world, you are not alone in your efforts to wage peace!

When a whole nation is roaring Patriotism at the top of its voice, I am fain to explore  the cleanness of its hands and the purity of its heart. 

Ralph Waldo Emerson

"...we caution and remind the U.S. Government leaders that all faiths of the world are taught that violence begets violence.  Mahatma Ghandi, and Martin Luther King, Jr. have proven the power of non-violence.  Our great chiefs like Blackhawk and Chief Joseph, in the face of great adversity, were men of peace and non-violence.  Blackhawk, who correctly observed at that time, when he asked the question, "Why is it that you Americans always insist on taking with a gun what you could have through love?"

With acts of love, we can become the most respected government and people in the world, and we will prevail.  If we continue the cycles of violence, we will continue to be the most despised in many parts of the world, and we will fail.  We must continue to pray for justice and world peace."

As long as war is regarded as wicked it will always have its fascinations.
When it is looked upon as vulgar, it will cease to be popular.
