Ashes to Ashes

The last member of the plot to assassinate Mahatma Gandhi died today, still unrepentant about his involvement in the murder (he froze with his finger on the trigger: his brother, who killed Gandhi, was hanged).

I am hoping to post some more links to Gandhi when I redesign this site. To me it is a great tragedy that Gandhi's non-violent political method has only ever been ridiculed in the decades since his death.

Can you imagine if some influential figure in Iraq today - al Sistani, for example - urged all Iraqis to stop co-operating with the US occupation? I know, we have been through this discussion before...

UPDATE: A few changes made to format and links. More to come...
