first of all: thanks to sarhat and ana for their very, very clear statements about war business (shouldn't it be called business, nowadays???).

now something nice, as a little break: thanks to easa-valencia for their beautiful exhibition. we printed it out and pinned it up in front of the main audition hall of our school. just a nice little example how the easa-network... works. let's get bigger.

and I recommend the spanish exhibition to everybody for advertising-purposes at their schools!!! check it out, ask noel.

the war is illegal and immoral

the un have not sanctioned this war, therefore it is illegal and bush and Blair should be liable for war crimes

this war is creating a humanitarian disaster; millions of innocent civilians are expected to die from it

bofore the war started the biggest organised protest in world history happened, up to 20,million people protested against it. in britain the majority of people opposed it, yet blair went against democracy and took britain into a war the people were against

sadam is a bad man, him and his regime are killing iraqis. yes we all know this, bush is using this as an excuse to attack so that US and co can control the oil, Iraq has second biggest oil reserves after Saudi Arabia

the CIA and Iraq’s neighbouring countries to do feel sadam is a threat = bush’s first lie

there are plenty other terrible regimes, you don’t see bush attacking them; Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Tibet.

the worst terror state is Palestine, the Israelis are carrying out near genocide there. the UN have tried to go in and stop this slaughter, 2000+ Palestinians killed in 3 years. but every time US uses its veto, i think they have done this @ 50 times over the years, when France uses their veto to prevent an unwanted war they are branded wrongdoers

the media in US still calls this war "the war on terror", again CIA claim there is no link between al-queida and sadams regime. the media is so one sided that the unfortunate people of the US are ill informed and will probably suffer more attacks similar to 9.11 due to this illegal war

US has attacked 21 countries since ww2, all occasions it said it would improve life there, untrue. it leaves things worse for the people and exploits the country to satisfy its own imperialist, economic, selfish, unsustainable needs. it promised great things when attacking Afghanistan, all it did was build a massive pipeline for oil and guard it with its troops, Afghanistan is a humanitarian mess at present. about 10 % of the promised aid got there, money now spent on "war on terror"

if and when sadam is defeated war will continue, it is very good for US economy, Syria look like the next target, then Iran, then possibly Russia and china, this could indeed lead to WW3.

meanwhile US and G8 nations unhealthy economic, political systems maintain an unbalanced world with 7,000,000 people dying every year and massive environmental problems growing; this is the real war

more and more people are becoming informed about what is really going on in this world. as architects i would hope you firstly do care for what is going on, secondly inform yourself of what is going on and lastly DO something about it, inform more people and try to promote a just, peaceful and sustainable world

thanks for your time

above is the reason to be political, your home, planet earth, it is being destroyed. oppose this. live life and love it

peace

The European Architecture Students Assembly EASA is a non-political non-profit organization that is made up of students of architecture and related disciplines from all European countries.

as requested here is the poll about taking position against war or not. i just want to point out that i'm not interrested in saying who is good or bad. war is cruel and kills people.

please remove this no war stuff, we are a non political organization.

also in the official website i think it is not acceptable.

i mean this seriously.
