"In Vietnam the tipping point came when reporters at White House briefings, students at universities and the American people in general suddenly found the confidence to ask the hard questions. Under intense daily scrutiny, the official, rosy version of the war suddenly dissolved, revealing an ethical and strategic quagmire. We may be reaching a similar kind of tipping point on Iraq, perhaps later this year." (Culture Jammers Network)

John Lennon and Yoko Ono protested the Vietnam War by having a Bed-in during May 1969. They wrote Give Peace A Chance, which was released on July 4, 1969. During the same year John and Yoko put up the billboard message "The War Is Over (If You Want It!)" around New York City. Two years later for Christmas 1971 he released Happy X-mas (War Is Over).

Perhaps war doesn't end, just by willing it to end or by proclamation in a song. But consciousness is lifted by acknowledging not denying. Let's acknowledge for this July 4, 2005 that this war in Iraq is wrong. Next to all the ribbons we have on the back of our cars that say: Support Our Troops, let's add: Bring Them Home Now
