Welcome to West By Northwest.org, an independent
online regional journal of arts, letters and ecology. As we face critical questions
of terror, loss of innocent people, economic dislocation and our national response,
a measured war, we encourage you to join the discussion. Please write. Many people have written and we are grateful.
If a piece is being widely circulated we think you may already have read it, so we
haven't posted everything sent. Now that the US is bombing in Afghanistan, the picture
shifts from prevention to remedial influences. We suggest that the millions of voices
of peace have indeed influenced the government to be more circumscribed in its actions
than the early rhetoric would suggest. Let's "keep on trucking."
