61 Antiwar Protesters Arrested at White House
---------------------------------------------



Outside the White House, sixty-one people were arrested Monday in a
protest to mark the anniversary of the Afghan war. Protesters included
longtime peace activist Elizabeth Mc Alister of Jonah House.

Elizabeth Mc Alister: “The powers of death and destruction reign, or so
it seems, but they are undone. So, dear friends, let us not be awed by
the mayhem with which the powers of this world will bamboozle us. Let us
embrace intransigent resistance. Let us imagine a new world is possible.
And then let us live as if that new world were indeed among us, and so
live it into being.”
