it's a symbolic gesture .. it probably won't end the war or the bloodshed going on in iraq .. nevertheless it provides a means for you to express yourself .. to take a stand .. so join!
The Concept
Between 20 March 2007 and 20 March 2008 (the fifth year of the war), we will attempt to sign up One Million Blogs for Peace. By signing up, a blogger is stating his or her agreement with The Pledge below. They will then be able to participate in various challenges launched by One Million Blogs for Peace. They will also be listed on this website with a link to their blog.
Bloggers may take The Pledge and sign up before the launch date of 30 March 2007 and will be declared an "Inblogural" (Inaugural Blog) of the movement.
The Pledge
I believe in the immediate withdrawal of all foreign combat troops from the nation of Iraq. I believe in using my blog, in whole or in part, as a tool toward this end.
Who's Eligible
For the official count (toward 1,000,000), a blog must be based in the home country of a nation currently engaged in the Iraq War. As of now, those nations are: Albania, Australia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Czech Republic, Denmark, El Salvador, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldova, Mongolia, Poland, Romania, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America.
Additional blogs from other nations may list themselves as "Support Blogs". While not counting toward the 1,000,000 count, these blogs will be eligible to participate in some of the challenges and will be listed in their own section.

Marhaba Mohammed!!
I'm really glad the word is getting out about One MILLION blogs for peace. My criminal govenment should have NEVER invaded Iraq in the first place!! We all know it had been planned for years and we all know why: oil and "presence" (as in bases). Yes I'm American but I lived in KSA many a moon ago (1975-1980) and wish you well over there. Take care. Masalama.
hey robin .. so you used to live in saudi .. that's cool :)
and yeah it's the least i can do to help get the word out :)
p.s. you have been added to my humble blog roll :)
As salam alaikum.
I am proud to say Canada not involved (yet) so I can't take part.
I write for a Muslim audience. Inshallah, come by if you have some time to read.
Wa salaama,
