Christopher Krohn made some good points.
He made the connections between national issues and how they reverberate down to local issues. He received a lot of grief and almost daily ridicule for going on national T.V. and I get the sense that some of what is behind this piece is a kind of 'I told you so' thing, which he has every right to do. The Cities for Peace movement though not successful in stopping the murder of Iraqis, was successful in creating a kind national unity and mode of communication between cities which may become ever more powerful in the future. Good job Christopher Krohn and good job to everyone else who spent the time and effort to write the resolutions, and to those prodding local politicians into action.
No need to 'Norse' him for being proud of his accomplishments.
my two-cents worth
