Here is a video of Nobel Peace Laureate Mairead Corrigan-Maguire's keynote speech at the Global Article 9 Campaign World Conference Hiroshima held at Aster Plaza on May 5. It is just over 33 minutes long, but is well worth viewing if you have time. Frustratingly, my video battery ran out right at the end of her final appeal to the youth of Japan. Apologies for that!
Rather than just do a simple intro to the video in a blog post, I've forced myself to
put some of my thoughts and reflections on the speeches and the conference as a whole on on GetHiroshima here. I would really appreciate it if anyone would share their thoughts on these issues. Perhaps the participants would like to comment, or some of the people who attended the meeting. Don, if you are reading, we were talking about some of this stuff the day before - care to chip in? Maethelwine, how about two lines that will no doubt send me cowering into a corner of self-doubt from which I may never return?
