The youth of today must learn from the mistakes and successes of today's world leaders, politicians and adults. Thank goodness there is now the Internet as a means of communication and interaction to spread understanding of different cultures and perspectives.

We need to continue our fight for Peace and Harmony in the world. The more we involve our young people in the process, the better chance we have of making an impact on our family, city and country. Please continue to keep those values at a high level and always have the theme of "Peace" as you mottop

Example is the best way to keep kids involved in this awesome drive for Peace in the World.

If we could look into the future right now, what would we see? A happy, healthy, peaceful planet? Obviously, from where we are now, this is not going to happen with just the snap of our fingers. We all need to work together for a more peaceful world so that the children of today will have a brighter future. I have great hope that with Obama in office we can all rise to the challenge. I'm also excited for Malia and Sasha and the experiences they will have living in the White House and watching their father. It will be interesting to watch them as they grow and develop their potential. We are all the children of the future and we hope for a better, cleaner, happier world.

I hope that the Worlds Children's Peace Monuments will serve to remind us of the violence and injustice happening in the world today. We need people from all over the world to come together to help stand up to violence and human rights.

I can't understand the few signatures here. I think no child wants to live under conditions of war, violence, hunger, aggression, suppression, pollution oder anything else like that. So if every child on this planet would have the possibility to sign this petition there would have to be as many signatures as children live in this world. PEACE

ToDAY Israel shells UN school, killing at least 30 - many dead children whose parents wailed in grief as a hospital filled with dead and wounded. "There's nowhere safe in Gaza. Everyone here is terrorized and traumatized," John Ging, the top U.N. official in Gaza, said after the Monday night attack on the compound of a U.N. school....Dr. Bassam Abu Warda, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, said 36 people were killed in the Israeli strike on the U.N. school in Jebaliya....The United Nations confirmed 30 were killed and 55 injured by tank shells. "I saw a lot of women and children wheeled in," said Fares Ghanem, another hospital official. "A lot of the wounded were missing limbs and a lot of the dead were in pieces."....Majed Hamdan, an AP photographer, said he rushed to the scene shortly after the attacks. At the hospital, he said, many children were among the dead....Speaking shortly after the attack, Maxwell Gaylard, the U.N. humanitarian coordinator for the Palestinian territories, demanded an investigation, "As one of the most densely populated places in the world, it is clear that more civilians will be killed," he said. "These tragic incidents need to be investigated, and if international humanitarian law has been contravened, those responsible must held accountable."....In Britain, Prime Minister Gordon Brown called it "the darkest moment yet for the Middle East." He said he had been in touch with world leaders, including from Egypt and Turkey, to discuss ways to forge a cease-fire....United Nations staff estimate around 15,000 people have fled to 23 U.N.-run schools they have turned into makeshift shelters. U.N. food aid has halted in the northern Gaza Strip because officials fear residents would risk their lives to reach distribution centers....."This is not a crisis, it's a disaster," said official Munzir Shiblak....A high-level European Union delegation met with President Shimon Peres late on Tuesday in a futile bid to end the violence. Commissioner Benita Ferraro-Waldner said, "We have come to Israel in order to advance the initiative for a humanitarian cease-fire and I will tell you, Mr. President, that you have a serious problem with international advocacy."....Commenting on the deaths at Jabalya school, French President Nicolas Sarkozy said "It reinforces my determination for all this to stop as quickly as possible. Time is working against us. We must find a solution."....In Syria, Bashar Assad, slammed the Israeli assault as a "war crime" and "barbaric," an "aggression" that Israel must halt....In Washington, the State Department said Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was traveling to the United Nations Tuesday to try to broker a sustainable cease-fire.

9:54 am PST, Jan 3, Amir Sahameddin Ghiassi, Iran, Islamic Republic Of
WHEN LOVE DIES / The young girl, about seventeen years old, steps firmly to the death place; Mona Mahmundizhad, one of my best students, was persecuted in Iran (Persia), because she was Bah�'�. : The Bah�'� religion is a world religion which began in Persia. Bah�'�s believe in the oneness of God, the oneness of religion, and the unity of mankind. Bah�'�s strive to eliminate all prejudices of race, nationality, and religion. And Bah�'�s respect that all religions have come from the same God, in different times, to guide mankind. : The revolutionary Islamic court in Shiraz, Iran persecuted Mona, and now they wanted to perform her execution. : Mona was walking very firmly towards the place of execution without any doubt or fear. She was singing Bah�'� songs and was walking like an angel towards her place of death. The people who were looking at this heroine were all crying and their faces were wet with tears. The eyes of her Moslem friends were shining from the tears and their faces were red; Mona was the only one not crying, and she was not sorry about what would happen to her in a few minutes. The reflection of God was in her face and she was sure that what she was doing was right and correct. : The Moslem people around her were singing Moslem songs, quietly. Some of them were singing in a very low voice while crying about this cruel situation and what would happen in a few minutes. The Bah�'�s who were there were singing the Bah�'� songs, "Sobuhon Ghoduson Rebeana Ve Reben Malaekaten Ve Ruh" The Moslems were singing "Alah o akbar" and the Baha'I were singing "All�h-u-Abh�, All�h-u-Abh�". : My friend Djalal, who was there as Mona's teacher, told me the following story in the hopes that the message of Mona would reach the people: : "I could not believe that what I was seeing was real. She, the young girl, was so in love with God that she was ready to be killed for Him and His glory. For her faith. And I, her poor teacher, must be there - without any power to save her. I have to watch the execution of one of my best students; I am a helpless person and can see the injustice to this young girl who has no crime in her life. The only crime that the so-called Islamic court could prove was that she was Bah�'�. A young, nice, intelligent, lovely, friendly and pure girl, who should be walking to the university to study and should have her whole life and future in front of her, was going to be executed because she was Bah�'�. And, who had signed her document but a Moslem who must be the follower of Imam Hossein, who was killed by Jazid in Karbella with all his family; his wife, children and even a little baby. The Jazid had cut off the water from them; so in the hot summer day of Kerbella, these holy people had no water to drink and must fight with these cruel people. He had been killed and for three days his body, and the bodies of his family, were left under the hot burning sun of the Kerbella Dessert. We had always cried for his death and the cruel situation in Kerbella, and now one of his followers had signed the death document for Mona. : "Her friends and classmates were there and were crying very bitterly; but Mona was firm and was singing with love and joy. : "The revolution of Iran, which should have been a religious revolution and should have lead the people to God's way, was now eating the innocent people and children. Which dirty hand in the revolution would like to paint a black page for Islamic history? I was Moslem, my father was Moslem, and he loved all the people around him. He always said to me, 'Djalal, you must respect all other people and their religion, and even if they have a false religion, you must respect them so they will respect our prophet. If you say bad words about their false prophet or god, they will do the same thing to our real and pure God." Now I was seeing the Moslems killing young, innocent children; my students, who were like my children. I could imagine that one day they might kill my little girl and that she must walk to her death place. : "Mona was a very good and friendly student of mine. She always helped the other students and laughed in a friendly way with them. She liked the younger students and helped them with their homework. Her parents were very proud of her. She was also, as I had heard, a teacher for the Bah�'� Friday school for younger students, which was another crime the Islamic court could prove. : "Her parents were very proud of her. I, as her teacher, was there to watch her die. Helpless and poor, I could not change this injustice and had to accept this way of cruelty. I wish that I had the power to do something more for my beloved student than just stand there and cry. I did know that any wrong movement would mean my death also, and I did not think my death would help my student. : "In Persia, the teacher is like a father or mother, and they love the students like their own children - so for me it was like I was watching my own child being killed by the Islamic court. My mother, who was a Moslem believer, said to me that she would pray for my student who was to be killed by an unjust court. : "Why should people be so cruel to each other and why should they kill each other just because they have other thoughts or religions, which had been given to them by their parents anyway? She was like my daughter and was very polite and friendly to me. I was very sorry to see all this happening to her and sometimes I could not believe that what I was seeing was real. My eyes were full of hot tears, burning my skin as they ran down my face. My feet were shivering as I saw that Mona was close to her death place. She behaved like a hero without any doubt, sorrow or fear. She was looking firmly in front of her and her dark eyes were shining with the love of God. The people who persecuted her could not see this love and purity. They were blind and could not see the light of God. I did not know why the love for God that Mona was demonstrating now would not move the people that had signed her execution. Were their hearts made of stone or did their business, money and power blind them? Why could not the people see the light and glory of God, which was reflected by Mona? : "Mona walked to her execution place, took the execution rope, kissed it and put it around her neck. The voice of the Moslems who were singing Moslem songs now changed to the Bah�'� song which Mona was singing. Now all the Moslems and Bah�'�s were singing the same song. They were united in song, the Bah�'� song which Mona was singing. All were full of sorrow and sadness. She died at 17 years of age, but her spirit and how she died, I will never forget. I hoped that the other people that saw this would never forget. Any human being should be ashamed to kill innocent people for their beliefs or for the beliefs of their parents. : "Many other Persian girls and boys have been killed by the Islamic Revolution Court and their only crime was that they were Bah�'�. What could they do; as their parents were Bah�'� so they were Bah�'� also. Some of them were my students. Why should I teach them to be killed by the Islamic court? My work was a useless work. I became very depressed and could not teach anymore." : Djalal, my friend who was telling this story, looked in my eyes. His eyes were red because he cried so much for his students who were killed. I could feel the warm tears on my face as well. He said, " What can we do? Only cry for this cruelty?" Should we just sit and look at what the cruel people do as they misuse religion and humanity to kill in the name of God the innocent boys and girls, our students? I thought God gave us a heart full of His love so that we could love and understand each other and each other's children. But these cruel people do not use even their simple understanding for the other people and in the name of God they kill children of God. And they claim that they believe in God. Djalal could not teach in the schools of Iran anymore and he was so sad that I was worried he would soon loose his mind. He said, "How can I be in the class and see the children whom I should teach? The faces of other students who were killed are in front of me and I see in each of the other students, the face of Mona. I cannot teach anymore and see the innocent children who could also be killed by the Islamic Court". : Djalal left me that day. I was always looking for him and I went many times to his house to visit him. The last time that I saw him he was very depressed and his hair had turned white during those years. When I rang his bell, his daughter opened the door. I saw her face, an Iranian girl with the same eyes and face as Mona. I saw in her face the face of Mona. The girl invited me into the house and to her father's room. Djalal was reading a book. He saw me and stood up to shake my hand. " You see, Amir, my girl. I saw always the face of Mona in her face. Maybe the same situation will happen to my daughter one day and they will kill her as they killed Mona." : Djalal; we should work for a goal as Mona worked for a goal. We should work so that our children will have a nice free country, and we should work against this cruelty. I know that maybe they will kill us too, but we must not give up and must try. Freedom has its cost and Mona paid that cost for us. Look at history; many people have been killed because they wanted justice, but they did not give up, they followed their ways without fear or doubt. I know that many young people have been killed, but one day our children will enjoy this freedom. Mona did her part, and we must do our part too. : I think, Djalal, you have been right. And I know that it is very hard for you to see all these cruel things. But we should give the message of Mona to the whole world because they have to know what has happened. The Iranian organizations, which call themselves organizations for humanity and human rights, should understand what they have done to the young and innocence in the Name of God. I hope that one day the message of Mona will reach the people who have God in their hearts and are willing to listen to the words of God. The people who can open their hearts to God, and who are pure, will listen. Yours: Amir Sahameddin Ghiassi

Blessed are the Peace Makers

Children are the inheritors of this Planet, as such it is normal for them to expect a livable world where all can be in enjoyment of life. They are also the cocreators of this environment, as such, they merit to be heard, supported and encouraged in all possible ways as regards to building their kind of Planet.

I don't believe monuments can solve or encourage people, unless we ourselves become living monuments and examples of our dreams and hopes.

A world without war must be what we all strive for, as only then can all the peoples of the world prosper (and I mean spiritually and emotonally rather than materially) and truly enjoy life. Only then can our children reach their full potential and lead our world into a happier,healthier future.

Yes, definitely there's a hope for the children to see the light of a bright future. BUT it is we, as a humanity in oneness, should come forward to share whatever possible we can do for their welfare. If we shun this prime responsibility, it is we who are going to be stamped as culprits in the eyes of the future generation. Let us spare a moment from our selfish attitudes to look into the PATHETIC PLIGHT of starvation deaths, child abuse and deterioration of human values.

HOW FAR IS IT �. The menacing clouds of war Often pounce to create havoc, The pigeons of peace Scared and scattered, fly away. The storm of hatred The storm of enmity The storm of death The storm of destruction, These devastating forces Design the ugly face of war. Men or women Children or youth Aged or the sick Rich or the poor; The ferocious WAR Without care and concern Without pity or parity Extends its biased hand Against the co-humans. Ignoring the path of truce The will and wish Of the super powers Ultimately would prevail. It is the co-human Who bears the brunt? It is an act inhuman That should be denounced. On whom � Should the blame be put? On whom �. Should the outcome be focused? How far is it justified �. To instill fear among citizens To enforce self-declared laws To massacre the innocents To rain bombs on civilians To create mass destructions To treat civilians as criminals To aggressively destabilize nations?

While I have no confidence that the oppressors of the world can be convinced to end their brutal ways via the gentle persuasions of people of goodwill, I can agree that such is a worthy aim. The awful truth is that tyrants who brutally rape, maim, and kill the innocent do not usually �cease and desist� when politely asked to. It usually requires considerably more, I�m afraid, than simply appealing to �the better angels of their natures.� Nevertheless, although there certainly is room for disagreement regarding the proper means of ending oppression, all reasonable people can agree that peace is the ultimate goal � for all of the creatures of Planet Earth.

The only way we can achieve a more peaceful world is to stabilize and provide security to our children worldwide. Their daily lessons should include helping one another and respecting each other. We need to be good examples for our children and show them that fighting and abuse is not the answer to a serene worldwide culture.
