Letter from Margarita Papandreou
    1-6-08                   as part of investigation of GS of NV


    Dear Andre Sheldon, this sounds like a positive initiative and especially if you line
    up a group of women who have experience with working for a culture of peace,
    that is, for non-violent solutions to conflict. I am interested in participating, but I
    would like to hear more about your plans and strategy. It is not an easy mission.  
    We had one of the largest anti-war movements ever seen prior
    to the war in Iraq which included not only non-governmental
    organizations, but many governments and outstanding
    personalities throughout the world. Despite this, the US
    Administration went ahead with a war on the Iraqi people.
    We have to think carefully as to how we can be effective.

    I will be waiting eagerly for more information from you. By
    the way, I am heartened that you are a man. After all, it is still
    true that men make the decisions on the use of violence to
    resolve a conflict. Either women’s perspectives get injected
    into the decision making process, or we have to change the
    mentality of men. Probably both.

    Yours in peace and love, Margarita Papandreou, founder of
    the Center of Research and Action on Peace (KEDE) and
    co-founder along with Zeynep Oral of WINPEACE, a
    Greek-Turkish-Cyprus women’s peace initiative for peace
    among our countries.
