Two GENEROUS children have been named winners of the 2007 Little Philosophers Peace Prize, recognizing the spirit of giving that has become so much a part of their young lives. The two shared a $1,000 prize, most of which they have given away -- not surprisingly.

The prize, issued by the Maui-based organization Little Philosophers, recognizes "an extraordinary child caring for family, community or the world."

Axil Kollist

Axil Kollist is saving the world one bumper sticker at a time. The 7-year-old Maui resident transformed his lemonade stand into a beacon for world peace.

After learning about a group of orphans in Kenya, he organized relief projects, sending toys and supplies to Africa. He regularly passes out bumper stickers, encouraging world peace and letting folks know about his mother's song, "World Peace Before 2021" (found at www.worldpeacebefore2021.com).

Axil learned about the orphans when a pastor from Kenya contacted his mother, Jill Kollist, about her song.

"When Axil learned that the orphans have no toys, pillows, food, water to drink and bathe in and no parents, he wanted to do something to help," said Kollist. "We are so proud of him. Children adopt their parent's philosophies and we are definitely peacemakers."

Axil's cash award of $500 has already been used for more charitable causes. The second-grader sent the orphans $300 and used the rest to send his packages to them. When asked how he could give all his prize money away, he simply responded, "Because they have nothing."

Mahina Bautista

Mahina Bautista, age 5, lives on Oahu and is always willing to help out, whether walking the school principal to his classroom or volunteering at the food bank with her mother, Kaylene Sheldon.

"I'm involved in lots of activities, and she always tags along," said Sheldon.

The mother-daughter team waves signs for MADD and hands out food and clothing at Helpful Hearts and Giving Hands. "We picked up rubbish on the beach, too," added Mahina.

When Bautista received her prize money, she bought gifts for her teachers, donated $100 to her church and another $100 to the church's food bank.

"Malnutrition is in our back yards," said Sherry Martinez, founder of Helpful Hearts and Giving Hands. "It takes about 18 cents a day to feed someone a meal."

In that case, Bautista's $100 donation should provide about 500 meals. "It's amazing that this little girl who doesn't understand the severity of the problem is still willing to give back," Martinez added.

"Mahina reminds us constantly to 'Aloha kekahi i kekahi, malama kekahi i kekahi, kokua i kekahi (love, take care of, help one another),'" said Sheldon. "She brings out the best in all of us."

Failure to take action shows against Bush and Cheney’s war crimes and impeach both of them jeopardizes the future possibilities of world peace!

http://democratspromisetoamerica. com/35_Impeachment_Articles. html

Congressmen Steney Hoyer and Congressmen Pelosi, lack the understanding for the war crimes that were committed in multiple countries by the CIA. Restoring America's respect around the world will be incomplete if both Cheney and Bush are allowed to finish out their elected terms.

The level of respect these 2 congressmen have for the constitution actually is in direct defiance of the oath they took to promise to defend the constitution.

What Any reasonable intelligent person will understand that allowing military intelligence to be manipulated to sell the American public and especially congress into an illegal war that violated the U.N. Charter violates the Constitution in so many ways.

Authorizing the CIA to violate article 3 of the Geneva Convention by committing acts of rendition(more than 75 CIA flights entered British Air Space) to transport suspects to illegal torture prisons set up in Poland, Romania, Ubekistan, Egypt, Indonesia and other countries is flat out a war crime. There are more than 2 dozen arrest warrants for rendition for CIA agents in Italy and 1 dozen arrest warrants for rendition in Germany.

If a president does not like an international treaty he is required to ask congress to void the international treaty. The Supreme court ruled(in 2006) that the prisoners at Guantanomo Bay had to be treated under the Guidelines set up by the Geneva Convention.

Failure to even vote to impeach Cheney and or Bush violates the oath that each and every congressmen has taken.

Failure to address this situation lessens the chance that we can further the cause of world peace!

When they say "Bush himself was misled by faulty intelligence on Iraq.
"
• Bush asked the intelligence community for anything they could possibly provide that supported war with Iraq. Intelligence operatives reported that they knew any information that did not support Bush's agenda would be ignored.

• The July 2002 Downing Street Memo that detailed a meeting with Tony Blair, describes how Bush was intent on war with Iraq "justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD " but "the case was thin" so " intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy".

• In March of 2002, Joseph Wilson reported that there was no evidence Niger sold uranium to Iraq. Bush was warned repeatedly by the CIA and foreign intelligence that the documents of sale were probably forged and unreliable. But Bush used the story in his January 2003 State of the Union speech to scare the public. CIA Director George Tenant told V.P. Cheney to stop publicly making in November 2002.

• In October of 2002, the DOE concluded that the infamous aluminum tubes were unsuitable for use in uranium gas centrifuges and were probably intended for use in conventional rockets. But in his January 2003 State of the Union speech Bush said "Our intelligence sources tell us that he has attempted to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes suitable for nuclear weapons production." Later Secretary of State Colin Powell would testify about these aluminum tubes to the U.N. Assembly and mislead the world and Congress of there significance. Colonel Larry Wilkerson ,Colin Powell’s Chief of staff has blasted the Bush Administration for lying to them and manipulating intelligence and resigned.

• Immediately after 9/11, Bush and Cheney started linking Iraq and 9/11 in so many speeches that a majority of Americans actually believed there was a connection despite a complete lack of evidence. Sadly 85% of US troops in Iraq still believe this is the reason they are there. Bush admitted that there was no connection in 2003 but continues to link them in his speeches. The center for Public Integrity has found 935 lies told by Rumsfeld, Powell, Cheney, Rice And Bush.
(Review video link)
• Bush setup a team in the Pentagon called the Office of Special Plans whose purpose was to distort intelligence to support justification for war.

• Bush set up WHIG, the White House Iraq Group, to mold public opinion on Iraq and to justify war.
Former Press Secretary Scott McLennan
• Senator John Rockefeller describes a Senate report saying that Bush misled Congress about Iraq.

• More details at http://www. impeachbush. tv/args/iraqlies. html
When they say "Bush was authorized by Congress to invade Iraq so they are equally guilty.
"
• They are probably referring to HJR114. The only reason Congress signed it is because they had been fooled by Bush into thinking Iraq was an imminent threat and was harboring Al Qaeda. This is called "fraud in the inducement". So the authorization was invalid. Read more...
• HJR114 specifically stated that it did not "supersedes any requirement of the War Powers Resolution." The War Powers Resolution requires that existing international treaties be observed but Bush violated the UN Charter by invading Iraq. So Bush overstepped his authority.

• Bush was required by HJR114 to show that the threat could not be resolved by diplomacy. But diplomacy & the UN inspections were keeping Iraq safely under control. Bush misled Congress about the threat & therefore, did not fulfill his commitments under HJR114, invalidating his authority.

When they say "Iraq did have WMD. Several hundred shells were found.
"
• They are probably referring to the 500 shells that were touted by former Senator Rick Santorum as evidence of WMD. These were old degraded shells leftover from the war with Iran. Sarin and most other chemical weapons are highly reactive and, therefore, have a short shelf life. They were essentially useless as weapons.
[WashPost]
When they say "Bush was justified in using illegal wiretaps to fight terrorism"
• Bush can immediately place a wiretap on anyone that he has a "reasonable suspicion" is connected with terrorism. He then has 72 hours to seek approval from the FISA court. For example, airplane bomber Dandeny Munoz-Mosquera was captured in 1991 by using an emergency wiretap that was legal under the 72 hour rule.

• The FISA court routinely approves warrants for suspected terrorists or al Qaeda members. They would have approved any legitimate for monitoring a suspected terrorist? Read more...
• Bush tries to justify their legality using very old court decisions. But the 1978 FISA law supersedes those decisions and make warrant less wiretaps illegal. There are no laws or resolutions that have overturned the FISA law.

• Bush claims that HJRes144, the resolution to defend against Iraq, places him above the law. But there is nothing in HJRes114 to suggest that.

When they say that Bush is opposed to torture and that Abu Ghraib was just some out of control soldiers, you can say:
• Bush worked with Alberto Gonzales to develop policies that allowed torture. Read more...
• Bush and Cheney fought hard against John McCain's attempts to pass anti-torture laws. When Bush signed the law he also issued a signing statement that gave him permission to torture.

• The soldiers at Abu Ghraib said they were instructed by military intelligence and officers to torture prisoners.

• The CIA has a system for transporting prisoners to foreign countries where they can be tortured. This could not be done without the highest level of authorization.

When they say the kidnapping and torture of prisoners is justified to fight evil enemies, you can say:
• We are only good guys if we act like good guys. If we kidnap and torture people then we become the kind of bad guys that we are supposedly fighting against.

• Torture is considered ineffective by professional interrogators. People will make up lies to stop being tortured.

• Torture is usually used for revenge or to intimidate and terrorize populations.

• If we kidnap and torture then more people will hate the USA, making us less secure.

• Kidnapping and torture are illegal under US and International Law.

• Many innocent people have been kidnapped and tortured since 9/11. Maher Arar, for example, simply worked with someone whose brother supported al Qaeda in 1997, long before 9/11. For that he spent a year in a small dark cell and was repeatedly beaten and tortured.

• Torture was not limited to the dramatic "ticking bomb" situation. Many thousands of prisoners were tortured. Remember the famous picture of the fellow with his arms spread and wires dangling from his body? He was arrested for carjacking, not terrorism.
