Kitties4Peace

I am surprised (stunned, distraught, rending my clothing & wringing my hands) at some of the things that our media barely covers, if at all - and those are the things you will find on this website. If you want to see the blurb of why I started this site it's here

The Iraq war has changed the way I think about the government. It is a reason I felt it was so important to vote George W Bush out of office (which didn't happen). My fact finding uncovered a lot of unpleasant truths. On a variety of things, either not covered or under-reported in the press.

My congressman & studies on effects of DU

In a time of war no less.

Outing a CIA agent whose specialty was WMD

I know it seems implausible but look at who is part of this think-tank, what their mission is and what we have just gone and done! It is outrageous and even though it was mentioned a few times in the press, the agenda these guys had for so long was drowned out by the loud thrumming of WMD going off in every other interview and article. Hard to beat - all that fear.

Hiding? or Napping?

And here are the Kitties 4 Peace!

(When they were kitties - they're 2 Now. But they are still peace mongering in addition to their charity work with pipe cleaners, spiders and the house plants.)

Finn is named for Phinneas the charismatic character in A Separate Peace.

Xela (pronounced Shay-la) is named after the nickname for Quetzltenango a city in Guatemala.

I started this Website Because:

In October of 2003 I adopted two kittens from the local animal shelter. They were interested in napping, eating and anything that moved. They were not interested in war, politics or the upcoming presidential election.

The war in Iraq was still bloody (as it remains today, over a 2 years later) and the innocence of the kittens rendered it in stark contrast. It was the juxtaposition of my joy at watching them play and my despair at the constant bleak news that prompted this page.

September 11th changed the way I thought about the government. I went on a fact finding mission, to educate myself on the foreign policy of this country over the last 30 years. Because, unlike the fear-mongers in power I think 9/11 had more to do with our foreign policy than it had to do with them "hating our freedom" . And the very first shocking thing I found out was that we trained and armed Bin Laden in Afghanistan while we used him and the mujihadeen as fighters in a proxy war with the Soviets. One of the thoughts was that we could bankrupt them through the war.
