Iran - a different picture

Do have a look at the slide show at www.lucasgray.com/video/peacetrain.html. Isn't this a truer picture of the country than the one we are constantly presented through the news?

Peace work

Upto now the global peace movement is taking good shape under the guidence of the british peace party and the dynamic peace leader Mr John Morris. In Nepal also we are trying to make are peace party through the strategy called "Peace-cacooning". Here each peace individual creates a ring of peace members through the process of personal peace culturing.

An Ordinary Man


Paul Rusesabagina is the man on which the film Hotel Rwanda is based. In the midst of the genocide of 1994 in which perhaps 800,000 people were slaughtered he managed to shelter 1268 Tutsis and moderate Hutus in his hotel at an incredible risk to himself and his family. It is a remarkable book by an extraordinary person. But he is not afraid to point the blame to those who organised the genocide and to the UN which stepped aside and let it happen. He writes "These things are not supposed to happen... Human beings were designed to live sanely, and sanity always returns... That is why I say that the individual's most potent weapon is a stubborn belief in the triumph of common decency".

Did he and others like him do more to oppose that evil than any military force?
