Destroying Pakistan to Make It Safe

This is also important because Lions who are combat troops may be directed by their Government to kill other people, some of whom are Lions.

About This Blogspot

Welcome to the Lions Against War Blogspot.

This blogspot is a resource for Lions who wish to work with other Lions and friends to oppose war.

This blogspot is not an official International Association of Lions Clubs (Lions) approved blogspot. The various identifiers related to the Lions are trademarked/copyrighted by the Lions and are used only to promote Lionism.

This is an independent effort, in line with the Vision, with the Mission, with the Code of Ethics, and with the Objects, to bring about more peaceful engagements between people from different places. My own bias is to use non-coercive, people-oriented methods and resources to bring about more peace for more people.

The non-Lion links are provided for your convenience in coordinating anti-war/pro-peace activities. You may bring links to my attention.

If you are a paid-up Lion, you can blog here. Contact me to sign-up for blogging access. You will need a blogger account and a publicly viewable contact e-mail address.

If you are not a paid-up Lion, you can still comment here.

You can contact me in the comments section or via email. Look in my profile.

Lions Clubs International Code of Ethics

To Show my faith in the worthiness of my vocation by industrious application to the end that I may merit a reputation for quality of service.

To Seek success and to demand all fair remuneration or profit as my just due, but to accept no profit or success at the price of my own self-respect lost because of unfair advantage taken or because of questionable acts on my part.

To Remember that in building up my business it is not necessary to tear down another's; to be loyal to my clients or customers and true to myself.

Whenever a doubt arises as to the right or ethics of my position or action towards others, to resolve such doubt against myself.

To Hold friendship as an end and not a means. To hold that true friendship exists not on account of the service performed by one another, but that true friendship demands nothing but accepts service in the spirit in which it is given.

Always to bear in mind my obligations as a citizen to my nation, my state, and my community, as to give them my unswerving loyalty in word, act, and deed. To give them freely of my time, labor and means.

To Aid others by giving my sympathy to those in distress, my aid to the weak, and my substance to the needy.

To Be Careful with my criticism and liberal with my praise; to build up and not destroy.
