Introduction: First of all I want to express my feelings of unhappiness concerning this disgracing situation. This situation makes me feel like I ended up in some childish fight, as if we are in early stages of puberty. Although I have been trying to solve this issue with Marko in a personal way, there has not been any response from him, neither has he undertaken actions to undo the political statements he is making according to his own personal opinion, not supported by any democratic EASA decision. With Marko’s mass mailings this issue seems to be turning into an embarrassing “public fight”. With this EASA is being harmed as well as the issue seems to be(come) a personal matter. I therefore want to ask Marko again to take his responsibility as webmaster and remove the anti-war propaganda from the EASA website and any part of this. For personal fights my mailbox is available. I do not have the intention to write any more sad public e-mails about this. Description of events: Marko has made an anti-war page which he uses as front page of the EASA site. After reminding Marko for at least 3 times about the political load of this page, he did neither react nor took any action. I therefore changed the redirect of the domain to the proper EASA starting page. Within a short time Marko changed this several times to make sure his anti war “splash screen” was the start site of our official EASA website. I made a temporary page redirecting to all the necessary pages and copied the EASA website to my personal server, without any changes or propaganda. While I was doing this I went out to have dinner, as I had a “dinner date”. Within one hour, directly after coming back, I finished the website and redirected the www.easa.tk site to the old version of the page, which is an exact copy of Marko’s site, although his personal “no war” opinions/additives are being left out. As some of you might now me better you will understand I have never been avoiding any discussion with Marko, although Marko seems to try to do this himself towards me. I do not understand what makes it necessary for Marko to not reply to my mails but use the nc group and the weblog for this in which he accuses me of all kinds of things, while he abuses his control of the content of the website. About the “no war” principle: I find the “no war” statement inconsistent in the way there is no protest against terrorism, dictatorships, human rights violations, suppression of human beings, genocides, sexual abuse, (AIDS) epidemics, hunger. These are major problems, never noticed, never worried about, but with the intervention of US/UK/DK/etc coalition forces in a terrible situation in Iraq from over the whole world is being protested against war because people will die. From this point of view the accuse towards the US is shortsighted anti-intellectual and superficial. I am aware of the interest in the EASA community concerning the idea to make the world a better place, and I applaud and embrace the intentions. I have the hope myself to contribute to this. Since some weeks the official Easa website has been transformed to a platform for anti-war propaganda, mainly as a reaction to the recent outbreak of the Second Gulf War. As you might have noticed I have not been complaining on this, although I doubt if this is the right place to discuss this question. I enjoy and respect the right to give personal opinions on things and I never tried to prevent this in any way, nor do I have the intentions do do so, as people who know me might know. In my opinion especially the (dis)similarities between different viewpoints help getting a grip on discussions. Even I find the discussion dominated by one single point of view which is hard to prove, I find it an interesting discussion. I must say for my self I am not able to take a stand before or against anything in this situation, since the question is very complex and the total of information necessary to make a valuable judgment is not easy to find. I therefore reject the statement “war is no solution” as much too superficial, as long as it is based on the idea that people die in the war. Looking from this point of view we should have been demonstrating against the allied forces in 1945 liberating us from the Nazi Regime. I hope this illustrates my point. comment this story:
