How much of Earth's atmosphere must we contaminate? How much of our lands and waters must we pollute? How much of our resources must we plunder, deplete? How many species must we ravage, despoil, extinguish? How many people must we degrade, deprive, destroy with toxic wastes and wars, before we learn to respect one another, to live in harmony on this planet, our Home? "All living beings are brothers and sisters, nourished from the same source of life.." -- Thich Nhat Hanh

I was born in Eastern Europe during the height of the Stalinist regime's reign of terror. Thus, I know what it is like to live under a repressive, dictatorial regime. The fear and terror -- as dissident friends and family members were tortured, imprisoned and some were executed -- is indelibly etched in my memory. That is the reason I have always been an ardent advocate of freedom, social justice, civil liberties, human rights and a voice of peace. The way I see it, war is morally wrong, regardless of who wages it, for whatever reason. No piece of land or commodity is worth the sacrifice of one human life. We are all members of the same race - the "human race" - and must learn to coexist peacefully. Our planet cannot sustain us much longer if we do not stop our wars, nukes, polluting, deforestation, and the wasteful, gluttonous consumption and depletion of our natural resources.

IWT - Independent World Television

** Please check out this website: www.iwtnews.com. This nascent independent news network, founded by acclaimed Canadian documentary film-maker Paul Jay is the only global, completely independent news network entirely member-supported, thus free from advertising and corporate sponsorship. I feel that the time for a truly independent news network is long overdue. I am supporting this excellent effort, and I strongly urge you to do likewise.

Be the FIRST to watch the IWTnews.com exclusive video interviews with author and journalist Naomi Klein, and Executive Director of Africa Action, Salin Booker.

Naomi shares her thoughts on TV news coverage of Iraq, and explains how Independent World Television can provide a badly needed "amplifying effect" for the world's best print and online journalists. Salih speaks out on "blind spots" in coverage of issues like poverty and AIDS in Africa, and how IWT can do better. Interviews like these are the voices and analysis you'll find on IWTnews.

Also, check out this BuzzFlash interview with IWTnews' founder, Paul Jay:
