Gør noget for et nej til krig mod Syrien
Vi har sandsynligvis en god måned at mobilisere mod bombeflyene, frømandskorpset og jægersoldaterne til Syrien. En bekendt skrev og spurgte, hvad vi kan gøre. Det fik mig til at stoppe op og tænke lidt. Vi skal skrive læserbreve. Vi skal lave debatmøder. Der skal laves en stribe foretræder for forsvars- og udenrigsudvalgene i Folketinget, hvor fredsfolk fra hele landet fortæller, hvorfor vi ikke skal opruste i Mellemøsten.
MFerne fra alle partier skal besøges af gode fredsfolk fra hele landet. Vi skal have kendte folk med. Vi skal lave fælles initiativer blandt modstanderne i Folketinget. Vi skal om muligt lave demoer og happenings. Du har sikkert flere ideer. Frem i lyset med dem. Jeg startede med et lille læserbrev til regionalaviserne: BOMBEFLY til SYRIEN?
Der er nu flertal for at sende bombefly og specialstyrker ind i Syrien. Det er i strid med folkeretten. Regeringen ved ikke, hvem de vil slås med og mod. De ved ikke hvilken opgave de skal løse. Der er ingen strategi. Det er helt i hegnet. Styrk i stedet den skrøbelige våbenhvile. Bloker for flere våben til Mellemøsten - ikke mindst til ISIL. Det er dobbeltmoral at vestlande tjener millioner på at sælge våben. Blokér for oliesalget fra ISIL. Det er dobbeltmoral at en række vestlige lande køber olie uden at spørge om, hvor det kommer fra.

> Peace prize for drone researcher: Refuses to make weapons
”I don't want to build drones for the military”, wrote Dylan Cawthorne in the Danish trade magazine for engineers - and for this attitude the peace organisation ”Aldrig Mere Krig” (”Never More War”) has now honoured him with the association's Peace Rose. Cawthorne is an aerospace engineer and associate professor at the Drone Centre at the University of Southern Denmark.
Cawthorne warns of a ”militarization of public Danish universities”, and that he himself is exposed to ”increased pressure from management to work on military projects”, with ”financial gain as the primary motive”.
Despite the pressure, Cawthorne refuses to work on military projects, and will insist on developing only civilian drones – for the benefit of healthcare and similar humanitarian tasks: ”Then I can combine my love of flight and fabrication, with my dream of making the world a better place.”
The Peace Rose was awarded to Dylan Cawthorne on Sunday the 10th of September in front of his artwork ”Kites for Peace”. The award certificate from the peace organisation honours Cawthorne for ”the courage to demand technology for peace and not for war”.
”In a world where science has made our leaders all too skilled at creating havoc and causing destruction, but not at solving their conflicts peacefully, it is important for daring individuals to speak out against the onslaught of militarisation”, said Tom Vilmer Paamand, who is chairman of the peace organisation, at the presentation:
”Freedom of research is threatened, just as freedom of speech is, when suddenly there is no room for sober thoughts against war. That is why people like Dylan Cawthorne, who dare anyway, are so badly needed.”
”Aldrig Mere Krig” is the Danish section of War Resisters' International, and has been handing out its Peace Roses for over 50 years. Over the years, the prize has been given for many forms of action, and to many types of actors - from dock workers to artists, journalists and even to a commander of the special forces. And in a similar case to Cawthorne's, to the engineering company Rambøll, which at that time had a philosophy of not wanting to ”make money from the arms industry”.
