If you go with the dutch (vrede) and swedish (fred) on the one sign you could cause confustion. Vrede = Wrath in swedish :eek:
Hope the rally went well. I found out about a candlelight vigil here a little too late to go…

**May I point out that the Allies have now officially lost World War 2. Japan dominates East Asia economically, Germany dominates Europe economically and politically, the Soviet Union has fallen, and the US and UK have little influence and essentially no allies.
War didn’t solve the world’s problems - it just replaced them with different problems.**
Oh I see…so if there hadn’t been WWII it would have been better since we never solved anything. Yeah, that would’ve been good–just let Hitler kill a few more people, say, in the millions. Ever been to any war camp museums? I have, and to tell the truth it was disgusting, or rather, disgusting in what people can do to each other. Or how about other war atrocities where soldiers would actually see a pregnant woman, bet on whether it was a girl or boy, and then cut her open so they could see who had won the bet. And you’re telling me it would have been better if we hadn’t gone to war and stopped all that?
Guys, please stay on-topic. I asked for slogans, etc. If you want to debate, there’s a proper forum for that.
If you think I’m insane for opposing war, then fine, that’s your prerogative, but please kvetch in the appropriate place. Hint: this isn’t it.
Here’s a website of a guy who makes clay pendants that say peace in many different languages. You might be able to find some more obscure languages here:
Oops…never mind. The guy’s links to his different languages don’t appear to be working. I’m sorry.

The prospects for peace seem dim when we Dopers can’t even agree to stay on topic. Oh, well. Baby steps, baby steps. I still believe we’re all basically on the same side.
Peace in Vietnamese is hoà bình. That linked site has it, but in some weird font. The above is in Unicode.
That was my joke; thus the blank.
Speaking of staying on topic…
Peace in our time!
Pax Americana Forever!
Peace Through Strength!
Note: all three start with “peace.” Sorry in advance.
Here’s some suggestions:
-
I’m an anti-American loser.
-
I’d rather see 5000 Iraqi children continue to starve to death every month than the US topple the Iraqi dicator.
-
I like Osama.
-
Who cares about fifteen UN resolutions demanding that Iraq disarm?
Jesus, I’m getting tired of you dictator-lovers.
The feeling is mutual.
PharmBoy, behave. This is MPSIMS. If you wanna curse at the dictator-lovers, do so in the Pit.
How about -
“Fighting for peace is like f*cking for virginity.”
Chastity.
And I’m getting tired of you armchair soldiers, not to mention you people who apparently don’t have sufficient reading comprehension abilities to understand the meaning of the term “anti-war slogan.” Where were all you folks until 6 months ago? I’d bet you weren’t exactly spending the majority of your waking hours as human rights activists, so why are you kvetching about Saddam now? (This is a rhetorical question, at least in terms of this thread, although I’m happy to discuss it elsewhere.)
For the umpteenth time, if you want to complain about peace activists, you have plenty of places and opportunities to do that. This isn’t one of them. If you have nothing to say in constructive response to the OP, then please go elsewhere.
Eva Luna-
I have a bumper sticker that says, “Regime Change? Start With Bush!” That might make a good protest sign, though I bet it’s been done.

Moderator’s Notes:
And I’m here to make this official. I said as much in several threads yesterday afternoon and I’m saying it again, “While I fully realize the impending war is an emotional issue for many, let’s please try to keep the pontificating, from either side, out of this thread (and this forum). There are other more appropriate forums for that type of thing should one wish to comment. Thank you.”
Okay, okay… with all my personal political feelings aside.
<say that ten times fast!>
No, okay, I have an idea. Make it REALLY BIG, with good yellow paint and perfect black lines.
wait for it…
this is good…
Eh? How’s that? That’s peace for you!!
I am a genius!
