Steve Sachs : My best to everyone at the Chicago area Nonviolent Change Meeting. I wish I could be with you. I am enjoying completing the move to Albuquerque and working more closely with Americans for Indian Opportunity, there. I am quite happy to see the spreading of democratic, essentially nonviolent, movements from the Ukraine cross the Caucuses. At the same time, I realize that removing an unrepresentative autocracy is only the first step toward building well working societies, especially in countries with major divisions. Many difficulties need to be overcome, but at least the work is beginning in what seems an appropriate place. Meanwhile, I am very concerned that the last opportunities to prevent extremely dangerous expanded nuclear proliferation are slipping away. I believe that only a very broad international cooperation based on real respect can succeed in solving the nuclear problem, as well as reasonably controlling terrorism. I can only hope that the United States can learn quickly enough from its huge mistakes in Iraq that it needs to exert collaborative leadership within the world community, rather than plunging ahead on its own, dragging along whomever it can carry with it in its wake.
