Please consider donating some of it to help Palestinian children who were victims of the Gaza War and who still need medical treatment for their wounds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Mr. President:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was touched by the tone and humility expressed in your statement upon receipt of the Nobel Peace Prize. You mentioned your children and the home life you treasure. That was a fitting context for your statement about waging world peace. Many of us were encouraged by your call to end nuclear weapons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Nobel Committee is convinced that you have changed the global climate in support of negotiated solutions in general to intractable conflicts. This would indeed be an opening for peace, a way forward in solving a wide variety of problems including climate change. So I hope with all of my heart that you can walk through this opening you have created in order to help broker peace between Israelis and Palestinians, Iraqis and Afghanis, offering hope as well to the people of Iran, Pakistan, Burma, Sudan, Darfur, Somalia, Columbia, and other countries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Populations in these countries have moved from desperate to critical stages in terms of their short and long term survival. Americans too are suffering as their loved ones are deployed into combat in the Middle East or other region. We all need peace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You mentioned other recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize in your statement and I suppose you already have a favorite. Mine is IPPNW, a physicians group based in Massachusetts. At his acceptance speech December 10th, 1985, Dr. Bernard Lown told the Nobel Committee: “We physicians who shepherd human life from birth to death have a moral imperative to resist with all our being the drift toward the brink. The threatened inhabitants on this fragile planet must speak out for those yet unborn for prosperity has no lobby with politicians”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Lown’s fellow recipient at IPPNW, the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, noted in his speech on the same day: “As adults we are obliged to avert transformation of the Earth from a flourishing planet into a heap of smoking ruins. Our duty is to hand it over to our successors in a better state than it was inherited by us. Therefore, it is not for fame, but for the happiness and for the future of all mothers and children that we- the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War- have worked, are working and will work”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This physician’s organization working on behalf of the survival of everyone on the planet, focusing on their equal rights, makes a great deal of sense to me. Our mutual security is our mutual survival.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Given that you are committed to presenting the $1.4 million in US dollars that comes with your award to charitable organizations I hope you will consider donating some or all of it to IPPNW. Their efforts to prevent nuclear war and its horrific consequences are to be commended and rewarded. Beyond that idea, however, is another one that occurred to me immediately after I heard that you had won.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’d like to humbly ask that you ear mark this money for Palestinian war victims, especially the children. Perhaps IPPNW would agree to serve their needs in conjunction with other organizations working in the region.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palestinians, especially kids, have suffered without medical care in the wake of the Gaza War in late 2008 and early 2009. These innocent victims are not able to benefit from the world’s offerings to humanitarian aid organizations because much of the aid is curtailed by Israel’s blockade of Gaza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I realize that there are many wonderful aid organizations in the world but I’ve recently seen a slide show presented by Ridgely Fuller, a social worker from Massachusetts who traveled to Gaza earlier this year. She is creating a CD/DVD of her slide show to present to members of Congress. I’ve agreed to help her in this effort.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of her photos is of a three year old girl injured by white phosphorus fired by Israeli troops. I will make certain that you receive it somehow. The child is still without proper medical care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ridgely’s photo reminded me of the portrait of Phan Th? Kim Phúc as she ran away from the Napalm dropped on her village by US forces. The picture won a Pulitzer Prize for AP photographer Nick Ut. And for many of us, the burning shame and pain we felt at seeing this photo remains. I as seven years old at the time, but knew in my heart that no one, no nation, and no military should use such horrific weapons that hurt children like that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In cases where these horrific weapons are used, all of us must take a stand that we should help prevent their further use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you were to offer Palestinians aid from your Nobel Peace Prize, you would send a strong message of hope to children affected by war in the entire region that they are what matter, not politics or money, just that they never be made to feel such terrible pain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you very much for accepting my letter and congratulations on your award. May peace on all continents be the reward we share in our lifetimes as the result.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dori Smith&lt;br /&gt;Producer, Talk Nation Radio&lt;br /&gt;Syndicated with Pacifica Network&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4418820440019258369-8569078039487111927?l=willtoresistwar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://willtoresistwar.blogspot.com/feeds/8569078039487111927/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://willtoresistwar.blogspot.com/2009/10/letter-to-president-obama-use-peace.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4418820440019258369/posts/default/8569078039487111927'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4418820440019258369/posts/default/8569078039487111927'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://willtoresistwar.blogspot.com/2009/10/letter-to-president-obama-use-peace.html' title='Letter To President Obama, Use Peace Prize Cash to Help Palestinian Children October 10th, 2009'/><author><name>Talk Nation Radio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13986035896187345849</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_P9hybDJOvoo/TA6Zar-skDI/AAAAAAAAAJs/7vLMsEiCQsU/S220/Talk+Nation+Radio+Logo+inverted+colors+from+blog.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418820440019258369.post-8523456458353647189</id><published>2009-10-08T11:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-08T11:26:52.624-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jeff Bartos of IVAW CT and Denisa Jashari'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Trinity College Anti War Coalition'/><title type='text'>Jeff Bartos of IVAW CT and Denisa Jashari, Trinity College Anti War Coalition</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Talk Nation Radio for October 8, 2009&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeff Bartos of IVAW CT and Denisa Jashari, Trinity College Anti War Coalition&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ivaw.org/files/TakeOurStand.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 162px; height: 237px;" src="http://ivaw.org/files/TakeOurStand.gif" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;US Veteran Jeff Bartos, &lt;a href="http://www.ivaw.org/connecticut "&gt;IVAW CT&lt;/a&gt; describes G20 arrest, and state and national anti war activities.

Dahr covered Iraq for nine months, and conducted his first radio interview with WHUS at the University of Connecticut in Storrs, Connecticut. We thought it fitting that we honor him in our own small way after so many have honored him worldwide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After starting out on a self funded trip to Iraq to 'get the real story' Dahr Jamail became a war correspondent and independent journalist with top credentials. He  currently writes for the Inter Press Service, Le Monde Diplomatique, and many other outlets. His stories have also been published with The Nation, The Sunday Herald in Scotland, Al-Jazeera, the Guardian, Foreign Policy in Focus, and the Independent to name just a few. Dahr’s dispatches and hard news stories have been translated into French, Polish, German, Dutch, Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese, Chinese, Arabic and Turkish. On radio as well as television, Dahr reports for Democracy Now!, has appeared on the BBC and NPR, and numerous other stations around the globe. Dahr is also special correspondent for Flashpoints.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dahr’s reporting has earned him numerous awards, including the prestigious 2008 Martha Gellhorn Award for Journalism, The Lannan Foundation Writing Residency Fellowship, the James Aronson Award for Social Justice Journalism, the Joe A. Callaway Award for Civic Courage, and four Project Censored awards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The WHUS Radio community and independent media from Storrs and other parts of the state, proudly adds our award to theirs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_P9hybDJOvoo/Sso8GaP_XwI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/Cx45YrT69Ng/s1600-h/DSCN0889.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_P9hybDJOvoo/Sso8GaP_XwI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/Cx45YrT69Ng/s200/DSCN0889.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389185984925490946" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; WHUS Radio FM 91.7 staff and volunteers from L to R, Thomas Danahy, David Haseltine, Public Affairs Director, Dori Smith, Talk Nation Radio, first produced at WHUS, now syndicated with Pacifica Network, John Murphy, WHUS General Manager, Dahr Jamail, (Beyond the Green Zone, Dispatches from an Unembedded Journalist in Occupied Iraq, and The Will to Resist, Soldiers who Refuse to Fight in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Richard Sherman, Architect and radio producer, former WHUS Radio program, From A Distant Shore. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The award was also presented by Ben Shaiken, WHUS Operations Manager, Joseph G.

He reported as an independent, without becoming embedded with the U.S. Military. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back in 2003 the station was at Rosebrooks, the 'farmhouse' as it was affectionately called. We phoned Iraq at all sorts of times of day and night, reaching Dahr as he covered the chaotic first year of war. He would describe events on the ground and tie them in with political developments both in Iraq and at home in America. And so we marked many landmarks with Dahr Jamail on the phone with us. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_P9hybDJOvoo/Sso52aNLD4I/AAAAAAAAAF4/8hsgEAPFYec/s1600-h/barn+at+uconn+edited+one+DSCN0931.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_P9hybDJOvoo/Sso52aNLD4I/AAAAAAAAAF4/8hsgEAPFYec/s200/barn+at+uconn+edited+one+DSCN0931.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389183511012511618" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_P9hybDJOvoo/Sso6KYl3TWI/AAAAAAAAAGA/qV2WxxeSpOM/s1600-h/Farm+House+Radio+Station+UCONN+DSCN0927.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_P9hybDJOvoo/Sso6KYl3TWI/AAAAAAAAAGA/qV2WxxeSpOM/s200/Farm+House+Radio+Station+UCONN+DSCN0927.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389183854176587106" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dahr was the first reporter to offer us a sense of the scale of the damage done to Iraq's infrastructure and to civilian homes. &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://dahrjamailiraq.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=12108&amp;g2_serialNumber=4"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="http://dahrjamailiraq.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=12108&amp;g2_serialNumber=4" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Nasir Fadlawi, 48 years old and the manager elect of Qasim’s compound in which 135 families live (750 people). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He spoke with many Iraqis, and with physicians trying to help wounded civilians in hospitals that were short on supplies to begin with.
