Rice for Peace -- pass the meme, please

[iamom]

I saw this in Jerry's NDH this evening. I'm going to set mine up tomorrow. I have a nice new bag of basmati which I'll share with Dubya.

In the 1950's, tens of thousands of people sent small bags of rice to President Eisenhower to encourage him to send food to then-enemy China during a famine. The campaign helped dissuade Eisenhower from attacking China during two distinct international confrontations. Now a nationwide effort has been launched to send a similar message to President Bush about Iraq. If we are going to send something to Iraq it should be food, not bombs.
