Afghan Youth Peace Volunteers showed their support for The World March for Peace & Non-violence
http://www.theworldmarch.org/index.php
They paid a visit to the UN, part of whose charter is ‘to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war’.
As this country is built into a verdant meadow, oh why don’t the intellectuals care about peace?
Peace is priceless.
Without peace, it’s impossible to survive.
Peace is love and friendship.
We the youth of Afghanistan want peace & a culture of non-violence for Afg & the world
We are participating in The World March for Peace and Non-violence
Why have Afghans, like others in the world, chosen the dove as a symbol of peace?
The dove is meek.
It represents peace.
The dove has a special white.
It carries love.
It is a bird of freedom.
The dove is friendship.
The dove is very loving.
Love is how the dove will fly!
Peace…peace!

Background words from the music of Silent Night by Simon and Garfunkel
“…into anti-Vietnam war protests…demonstrators were forcibly evicted from the areas where they began chanting anti-war slogans.
Former Vice-President Richard Nixon says that unless there is a substantial increase in the present war effort in Vietnam, the US should look forward to 5 more years of war.
In a speech before the Convention of The Veterans of Foreign Wars in New York , Nixon also said that opposition to the war in this country is the greatest single weapon working against the US. That’s the seven o’clock edition of the news. Good night. “
