Nobel Winners Take Aim at US |
Ten Nobel Peace Prize Winners Take Aim at US
by Chase Squires
DENVER, Colorado - Ten Nobel Peace Prize laureates called for world
peace Saturday and took direct aim at the United States, asking an
enthusiastic crowd of 7,000 youth to demand the U.S. pull back its military,
spread its wealth and offer aid to developing countries.
''After the painful events of September 11, I wish that America would
have built a school in Afghanistan in the name of every victim,'' said
Shirin Ebadi, an Iranian judge and 2003 Peace Prize recipient. ''When
someone claims he has a vision from God to bring war to Iraq, this is a kind
of terrorism.''
Only the Dalai Lama, whose speech during the first public event of a
three-day event at the University of Denver was interrupted when a fire
alarm went off, didn't take a direct jab at the U.S.
Instead the Dalai Lama called on the world to open itself to religious
tolerance.
PeaceJam, a Colorado-based program in its 10th year, hosts conventions
around the world, bringing teenagers together with Nobel laureates to talk
about what they can do to promote peace. Founders Dawn Engle and Ivan
Suvanjieff say the interaction between the teens and laureates can build a
generation that will tackle the big issues of poverty, disease and war.
One after the other Saturday night, the laureates thanked the crowd
that rose to its feet before and after each speech, and then called on
Americans to do something about their government's foreign policy. From
efforts to close the border with Mexico, to Iraq, to arms exports, the Nobel
laureates had words for the U.S. government.
''Stand up. Take action,'' said Jody Williams, the 1997 recipient for
her work opposing land mines, and the only American to take the stage.
''Don't try to bring democracy to people you don't understand through the
barrel of a gun and leave them with civil war.''
Even the Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who praised the United States for
its fight against South Africa's apartheid and its history of justice and
democracy, had stern words for the Bush administration.
''You taught us about the rule of law,'' he said. ''You taught us no
government worth its salt can subvert the rule of law. We believed you.
That's part of what you have as a gift for the world. Then how can you
commit Guantanamo Bay? Take back your country.... How about exporting some
of your generosity instead of your bombs?''

developing countries"????? They have the nerve to demand that we
give them money?!? FOAD losers, we owe you *nothing*. LOL

I just posted an article showing how China is greatly increasing its
influence through Asia and the far Pacific through good use of foreign
aid.
Keep pissing on your friends and neighbors, Fauxy. It will destroy
your country, but my! Won't you feel manly as you do it?

Yeah the Chinese government sure is a bunch of sweethearts. Other
countries just can't wait to adopt their policies of mandated sterilizations
and abortions.

Not giving money to jealous greedy whiners is your idea of "pissing
on your friends"?
You'd rather screw American taxpayers out of their hard earned
money so you can give it to foreigners who hate our guts in the hopes
that maybe they'll like us, right?

I think they are motivated both by a sense of morality, and a sense
that making the world a better place overall will be good for all of
us in the long run.
We don't have to feed our children. But it's morally desirable, and in
the long run leads to a better world.
But I agree with you that you don't have to feed your children if you
don't want to.

Bush volunteered that money for philanthropic purposes. The article
is about other countries selfishly demanding money from us.
Are you truly incapable of seeing the difference, Mitchy?

So that doesn't count as "giving away
our hard earned money"?
If it weren't for Double Standards you
guys would have no standards at all........
