An Open Letter to the Peace Movement by Roderick Long is one of my most favorite pieces of writing ever. It is short and inspiring with its heroic poetic language.
I have found that it is one of the best ways to introduce people to my political views if I only have a few minutes of their time. It literally only takes 3-4 minutes to read yet it communicates just how radical my views are without arousing the typical quick objections that one usually hears upon mentioning that he or she is an "anarchist."
I thought I would share it here. I am willing to discuss any thoughts anyone may have on it.
UPDATE: Ten years ago today, on March 7, 2003, Professor Roderick T. Long wrote this letter urging peace activists who opposed the Iraq War to be more consistent in their support of peace by opposing domestic as well as foreign aggression. Nearly everyone supports peace, but almost no one supports peace consistently.
