The reality of war is closing in on us, we can almost taste it. More troops are
moving toward the Middle East, war reporters are setting up shop, embassies are cleared to bare bones essential employees and deadlines are moving closer and closer. But as we arm and brace ourselves for what many are feeling is now inevitable, others in America and abroad are still frantically searching for that last minute, eleventh-hour, Hail Mary idea to still avoid war… to find a non-violent solution to still disarm in Iraq. At this point, what would it take? A dramatic visit by Bono or the Pope or Jimmy Carter? A major national letter-writing campaign? A face-saving compromise with France, Russia and Germany. Tonight, brainstorming ideas to still avoid war.
