History lesson: What do you know about Palau?
*The Making of a Nuclear Free Palau* produced by The Ecological Options Network. In 1984 during my first trip to Japan for the August 6-9 Hiroshima & Nagasaki commemoration events I saw this film one evening during a film showing that was part of the peace conference I attended. The story is basically about the US government forcing the residents of the small Pacific island of Palau to allow US nukes there even though Palau had declared itself a 'Nuclear Free Zone'. One scene that has stayed with me over the years is then President Ronald Reagan beaming into the humble island... read more

*Ethen Kim Lieser* *economy, Americas* The petitions have garnered more than 4.5 million signatures.
