We as a human family are on this train that is taking us into more and more war and more and more abuse of human rights where a lot of civilians are being killed and where human rights and international law are being set aside by America and NATO.

People have the right to come and choose their own political solutions.

The experience of a lot of us women is that too much money is being spent on militarism and war.

I believe we are on the edge of a quantum leap into a whole new way of organizing and living as a human family.

We mustn't start off with the idea that there's only militarism, invasions, and occupations. We really have to look: What are the alternatives here?

We need political leadership that will move the world away from war into solving its problems through dialogue and negotiation, to build friendship with people, which is not what we've had with this war on terror.

The fact is that the American government and NATO have destroyed Iraq and Afghanistan. Their next targets will be Syria and Iran.
