Official rhetoric has helped fuel an escalation of tension between the United States and Iran. Do recent negotiations mark a change in direction, or just a temporary detour from the highway to military attack?

Well said CherokeeStar. I wandered amongst the tents in London and spoke to many of the protestors. They were all intelligent and serious young (and not so young sometimes) men and women who feel they have a serious point to make - as indeed they do. There were educated discussions going on in the Tent City University, plenty of good literature to read, or borrow at the Tent City University Library (I donated my own book - one chapter hugely relevant to their cause) and saw only courtesy and peace. The site was clean, well ordered and peaceful (with plenty of portaloos and rubbish skips) and attracting much support and interest from the public. It is very sad that it has divided clergy in St Pauls, and I am even sadder to see the violence in the evictions in Manhattan - although it seems the Manhattan park site may not have been so well organised?
I went to the Occupy London tent city at St Pauls to talk to the protestors and was struck by what they stand for and how well organised and thoughtful the community was. There was plenty of sound debate, peace and love - and the point they make is very valid - in London they had plenty of public support - and they are in no way blocking visitors to St Pauls either. Thankyou for an excellent blog.As for repentance I think we should look for the planks in our own eyes first.
