International We Had Enough Day

[eridani]

I'd change it to We've Had Enough, and add the Russian children. Any city with a Russian consulate should have some flowers on their steps or something.

- By Bahram Maskanian - September 9, 2002

George W. Bush, acting upon a joint resolution of Congress, has declared September 11th to be Patriot Day. According to his proclamation, we are supposed to - - observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities - - and to display the U.S. flag - - at half-staff from homes and observe a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m. EDT - - in honor of the Americans who died in the terrorist attack.

I have a better idea, so I am making a proclamation of my own, which of course is not endorsed by US politicians. I hope that the public endorse this idea and disseminate it widely.

I am declaring September 11th - - International We Had Enough Day. - -

Planet Earth Had Enough Flag-Waving, Enough Flag-Wearing, Enough Israeli Jewish Violence, Enough Arab Muslim Violence, Enough Evangelical Zionist Christians Violence, Enough Weapon Manufacturers Violence, And Enough Fake Nationalism.

Enough Already!

The tragedy of September 11th is not an American tragedy rather it is a human tragedy. It was a tragedy not just for the people in the US who were murdered, but for every innocent person murdered as a result of the US reaction to the attacks as well. It is a tragedy and a major setback for the human spirit, regardless of nationality and religion.

On Each And Every September 11th, Let's Say - - Enough. - - No More Slaughter.

Let's remember the innocent victims of the European Christians massacre of the so-called native inhabitants, which adds up to two hundred million (200,000,000) civilians, men, women and children of Native Americans.

Let's remember the hundreds of thousands of innocent victims of Genocide in Darfur, for the past twenty (20) years and force the Sudanese Arab Muslim government to stop political ethnic cleansing, killing Non-Arab Non-Muslim Africans and to disarm its terrorist militias in Darfur.

Let's remember the innocent victims of the hijacked airplanes in the US.

Let's remember the innocent victims of the embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998.

Let's remember the innocent Iranian and Iraqi people, over one million (1,000,000) of them murdered by the United States weapon manufacturers, oil companies, government and presidents, Jimmy Carter followed by Ronald Reagan, through the initiation and support of Iran / Iraq war for eight (8) years. Secretly and illegally, the Reagan White House armed Iraq, normalized U.S. relations with Iraq, sold and financed Saddam Hussein’s chemical weapons and war with Iran.

Let's remember innocent Palestinians killed by Israeli troops and innocent Israelis killed by Palestinian bombers.

Let's remember the millions of innocent Armenians, victims of Genocide in Turkey.

Let's remember all the innocent people slain by Union Carbide in Bhopal, India in 1984.

Let's take the day to contemplate the people who have been innocent victims of genocidal warfare in Africa.

Let's remember the victims of the Holocaust and of the firebombing of Dresden.

Let's remember the eighty million (80,000,000) victims of the World War II and the barbaric use of Atomic bomb in Japan.

Let's not forget those who were slain in the My Lai Massacre in Vietnam.

Instead of waving the flag of one nation and thinking only about our own victims, let's make September 11th, a day to remember all the people who died in the hands of someone else's political agenda, through no fault of their own, and let's say enough.

People of the Earth, we should stand up and reject this, no matter what country we are in, no matter what religion we follow, no matter our political affiliation, status, race or anything else.

If we had a moment of silence marking the time of every atrocity ever committed in the name of nationalism, religion, national security and extending the artificial borders, we would not have enough time to do anything else.

We are made to believe that fear and hatred are part of our day-to-day beliefs and lives making us forget we are all human beings, all in this together, all fragile creatures whose lives can be snuffed out in an instant through no fault of our own.

Let’s observe September 11th as the day when the nightmares that humans around the world have been living with for decades came lumbering ashore on the East Coast of the United States.

We should see and observe September 11th for what it is, the day the US truly experienced the horror that rings like a bell around the globe, from South America to the Middle East to Micronesia. The day we joined the human race at a most profound and fundamental level.

There should be no - - Patriot Day, - - no day to further emphasize that we are different.

Instead, we should have - - Enough Day - - Enough of putting the interests of any one nation above the interests of the human race.

Let us understand that we had enough of adversarial behavior over our small moronic differences and killing each other over them.

Enough prejudice and promoting hate, enough with politics causing fear, enough hunger, enough violence, enough bombing, enough, enough, enough, enough.

Let’s have a global day of silence. Let’s have a day of meditation commemorating the memories of all the victims of global prejudice, nationalism and religion killing machines on Earth.

Let’s take a day to celebrate the lives of all of us in the spirit of unity and peace.

Let’s take a day to remember the fragility of human life and all the nightmares wrought by those who wanted to impose their will upon the whole of humanity.

Let’s make a pact to never commit any act of violence, however small.

Let’s all of us let go of any hatred and prejudice and thirst for revenge and realize that we had ENOUGH.
