Re: [RC] UAE Involvement in AERC Functions - heidiThere were CO's (conscientious objectors) during the Viet Nam conflict of all faiths who were stretcher bearers, ambulance drivers, medics, clerks and other various roles. They didn't believe in violence, unlikely they would condone child abuse. Exactly, John. They made a difference by GOING THERE and being a part of it, not by staying home. You're right that they need not be Quakers or any other specific thing. But you underscore my point. One must take part in order to make a difference. This has nothing to do with culture Heidi. This has to do with International Law that they have agreed to. It has everything to do with culture. And history has proven time and time again how difficult it is to change atrocities in cultures by legislative means. Again, it requires involvement of people who think differently.
