Long before we US Americans had the connotations with today's date (September 11th) that we do now, September 11th marked the anniversary of the birth of the non-violent resistance movement. On this date in the year 1906, Mohandas K Gandhi asked a gathering of three thousand Indian people living in South Africa to peacefully resist a new apartheid law. Everyone there took an oath that they would do so.
*sigh*
Long live non-violent resistance.
Is it so illogical to believe that we will never have peace till we stop making war?
