Title A name given to the resource Madison Area Peace Coalition E-mails Description An account of the resource The Madison Area Peace Coalition (MAPC) formed fourteen days after the September 11 attacks to oppose (among other goals) the use of U.S. military, economic, or political force – whether direct or proxy, overt or covert -- "that violates the sovereignty or human rights of any nation or people." The Archive has assembled here e-mails exchanges from MAPC dating from the group's founding until late November 2001.

Ok, so the news right now (1:24 Saturday morning): 100-200 troops went in on a combat mission. Two soldiers were killed, several injured, supposedly in a helicopter accident. (I don't think I believe that part about being a helicopter crash) I don't think we will see ever an invasion proper of Afghanistan. That doesn't mean that "special forces" or death squads - however you wish to call them, are not a dangerous escalation of the conflict. I mean, we all know about "smart" bombs and how really smart they are and I hold the same opinion about "special forces" - how in the world will they know whom to kill down there? I don't doubt that civilians will die in these missions. Now, when we originally discussed what was an emergency that required our action, we were not very clear on what it could be because of the unpredictability of the conflict. The fact that we are discussing whether this is such an emergency does not mean that it is not a true emergency - it just shows how difficult it is to prepare for what the US military is going to do next. I myself feel pretty burnt out by all the meetings we've had and I would rather not spend my Saturday afternoon in the cold, getting even further behind in my readings for classes, but continuity of action in response to escalation of the conflict is necessary.  We need to be in the news every time the US military escalates this war if for nothing else than at least to show that there are people who do not believe in this war. This doesn't interfere with our other activities - they should all go ahead as planned. The only other suggestion I had is that if we are planning a picket line instead, we might want to consider an earlier time, before the market closes, just to get a few more people. But rally is still my first choice, just for the media exposure of our reaction to the recent developments. Also, most people that reacted to the news yesterday were ready for a rally at 5:00 p.m. We need to make a decision before noon today. Please respond with your vote by then. thanks, x September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.
