As a lifelong resident of Maryland and having been born in Baltimore, I am immensely pleased that the city has passed a resolution against war in Iraq. I am convinced that the growing desire for peace spreading across the globe, as illustrated by constant and numerous actions against the US war machine(and every war machine), is not JUST against war in Iraq, but rather, against war ANYWHERE and EVERYWHERE. It has taken more than two thousand years of bloody human history, but tireless efforts of organizations like Indymedia, through the technology of the Internet, have brought the common civilians of the world together as never before. Seeing this awareness and desire for peace grow, even in this time of utter and complete global chaos, gives me hope. The one thing to have faith in now is our own humanity; and that, TOGETHER, we are victorious.
