History!

It happened in Salt Lake City, Utah again the last week in August, 2006. Many demonstrations and many speeches by American Legionares amd leaders in city, state and national responsibilities, including the President of the United States, George W. Bush, were done.

Again, no one talked about the third way--a solution--to the quagmire called the Iraqi War. There was only blame and counter charges of cowardice.

It was like one set of on lookers yelling at a man in the quicksand, "Get out!" (as soon as we get a longer rope). The other set of on lookers yelled, "Keep at it! Swim on top of the sand! You can do it!"

The voice of the third group was not heard. "Start laying down planks on top of the quicksand to the the victum and to the other side for us all."

History!

It was called the Westphalia Treaty of 1648, that ended 130 years of war in Europe. That treaty could be called the "Golden Rule" agreement between nations (the planks). That important time of history must be repeated before the entire world finds itself in a "clash of civilizations," that some are striving for.

This is a call for the silent to be heard! There is a third way!
