Verden er blevet fredeligere - også i England!
Fredsbilleder...
Naturligvis er det træls når galninge kaster bomber efter hinanden - men her i vores fredelige hjørne af verden er det en meget overskuelig risiko. England havde for snart længe siden i en årrække problemer med terror, hvor der jævnligt sprang bomber. Omkring hundrede terrordræbte hvert år, nogen gange mange flere.
Men de sidste tyve år er dette billede vendt totalt, og dødstallet ligger nu på nogle få personer om året - med kedelige afvigelser på op til et par dusin, som det just skete i London. Terrorangreb er rigtig grimt, men der er umiddelbart ingen grund til at gå i større panik. Den samme beroligende udvikling er nemlig også sket for Danmark, hvor det fortsat er langt mere risikabelt at krydse en trafikeret gade. Selv om alle lader til at have glemt det, sprang der i en længere periode fra sidst i 1970erne bomber herhjemme hver eneste måned.
Dengang blev der også gjort meget for at stoppe terroren, men trods den tids voldsommere angreb slet ikke så meget som nu. Opportunistiske politikere benytter naturligvis altid lejligheden til at få godkendt stramninger, de alligevel har gået og drømt om. Og hvis vi rider med på deres misbrug af folks frygt, får de lov!

>  Peace prize for drone researcher: Refuses to make weapons
logo”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”.
