International terrorists caused our catastrophic 9-11 disaster.
We will never forget. However, that doesn’t mean we attack the
world in blind fury. A pre-emptive attack on and subsequent
invasion of Iraq could signal the beginning of World War III.
Neither peace nor democracy can come from the barrel of a gun.
There is another way. It has been successful.

We live in a culture of violence. We have come to think that violence is the only solution. There is another way. Our children’s teachers know it. So do their students. In fact, you can too.
Beginning on Oct. 2, running for seven consecutive Thursday evenings at Gavilan College at Fourth and San Benito streets, there will be a workshop on this other way called non-violence, only for lack of a better name. Many assume non-violence is for “sissies” or weaklings, whereas “real people” know how to force and coerce. Actually, the reverse is the truth. Real men and women have the courage to stand up for life, mutual respect and justice for all. Come and discover yourself.
