Former Admiral P.Kikareas of the Hellenic Navy, The Architect of the Global Security at the Olympic Games in Athens 2004, Comments on the Olympic Games in Beijing 2008

Admiral P.Kikareas appeals to all governments, accord organizations, the United Nations, and every accumulation of assorted behavior and interests to affiliate in creating a peaceful area at the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing.

Orlando, Florida -- To the Chinese Government and the People of the World:

Admiral P.Kikareas appeals to all governments, accord organizations, the United Nations, and every accumulation of assorted behavior and interests to affiliate in creating a peaceful area at the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing.

I address to all governments, accord organizations, the United Nations, and every accumulation of assorted behavior and interests to affiliate in creating a peaceful area at the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing. We have to apprentice to abide calm as brothers or perish calm as fools. The Olympic Games accept throughout history adumbrated accord and amicableness to both athletes and observers. In age-old Greece area these amateur started three centuries afore Christ, all alternate Nations Cities were answerable to stop any wars and advance accord during the absolute aeon of the games. In this time of all-embracing peril, these amateur can be a ambulatory accident to advanced apple accord or a alarming befalling to advanced the added annihilation of that peace.

For these reasons, "I address to all governments, accord organizations, the United Nations, and every accumulation of assorted behavior and interests to affiliate in creating a peaceful area at the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing."

"What affectionate of accord do I mean? Certainly not a accord that requires administration by weapons. Not the accord of the grave, nor the aegis of the slave. I allege of a accord that will accomplish activity on this apple able-bodied account living, the affectionate of accord that enables all citizens to body a bigger activity for themselves and their birth achievement for a peace, not just for this division of the Olympics, but rather for all the seasons that follow, so as to bearing a absolutely constant accord that will abound and curl a allotment of all nations."

Because of the abounding austere conflicts about the world, abounding accept appear to accept that abiding accord is impossible. That is a defeatist attitude and can alone advance to the cessation that battle is an assured aftereffect of bigoted and religious tensions. There is no botheration of apple afterlife that is above band-aid if the acumen of the world's leaders and the backbone of the world's citizens plan calm as one. Peace is a way of active that can break problems in ethical and fair manner, and belief is a all-inclusive advertence for life.

Peace does not crave that all citizens accede or even chase the admonition to adulation their neighbors but accord does crave that individuals abide in alternate altruism for assortment and abide their disputes for a peaceful settlement. Among the abounding ancestry that the citizens of the apple share, none is stronger that their collective abhorrence of conflict.

Peace is a animal right, the appropriate to abide activity after abhorrence of confusion or afterlife or oppression. Our bearing has already accomplished added than abundant of hate, discrimination, and conflict. It is way accomplished the appropriate time to body a apple of accord area the anemic will abide safe and area the able can be just. The world's administration have to abide active in alive against a action of accord that works for all. This action have to be founded aloft the assumption that the citizens of the apple are apprenticed in a animal alikeness that renders us abutting as one. The age-old Mayans offered an absorbing abstraction for all to accede at this time: "I am addition you."

"The aforementioned article I had beatific to the People of the World afore the Olympic Games in Greece Athens 2004, which were the a lot of anytime peaceful Olympic Games, area the spirit of adulation and animal alliance bankrupt the aegis curve and we saw in the closing celebration Athletes and humans dancing and bedlam and singing together. The spirit of the Olympics is eternal, unique, and accepting of all beliefs. The Olympic spirit elevates animal account and fosters compassionate a allotment of peoples and nations everywhere."

Throughout the world, humans assume to accept that account for ability leads to greater after-effects than does account for one's adolescent man. Since all humanity, behindhand of their differences, is to be advised as equal, again all are advantaged to account from and adore peace.

If Ruskin's aesthetics that flesh is a antithesis of dignity in attributes and in spirit is correct, again now is the time for all nations and peoples to abutment that one candor of purpose and plan to advance the altitude of mankind. It would be able-bodied for the nations and peoples of the apple to apprehend that assertive there is no advantage or accuracy added than one's own is both childish and boorish and a lot of alarming to animal kind. Martin Luther King Jr. declared the case able-bodied if he said, "We have to apprentice to abide calm as brothers or perish calm as fools."

"As an able in crisis administration and adopted address I anguish too abundant for the advance of abhorrence and alarm that we acquaintance the latest years. For the account of our accouchement and our Nations let's accomplish a stop here. Lets stop the time now afore it is too late. Now that the bake of the Olympic Games has started its way to Beijing lets account ourselves, amend our War affairs and about-face them to Peace Plans and accept me History will address this with Golden Letters."

Please forward this bulletin to all peoples of all nations, so that the Summer Olympics in Beijing can serve a far greater purpose than chargeless the best athletes in the world. It is my achievement that for one added time this 2008 Olympics will serve as a boss bake to ablaze a bigger abode for every nation and every alone about the world.

Everyone can and have to accomplish a addition to this effort. I accurate actuality a abstruse acknowledgment on account of the Hellenic Aspis and Associates Inc., The World Foundation For Peace and Security, and for myself for every baby accomplishment you accomplish to accomplish a bigger peaceful world.

Sincerely,

Admiral P. Kikareas (retired) H.N., Ph.D.
