Pehea ʻoe i komo ai me kahi hoʻopilikia anti-kaua a World BEYOND War (WBW)?
ʻO ka mea mua, makemake au i ka mea hoʻoikaika i ka wā maluhia ma mua o ka wā anti-kaua maikaʻi ʻole.

ʻO nā kumu i komo ai wau me ka activism maluhia i ala mai kaʻu mau ʻike ma mua ma ke ʻano he kahu mālama koa o United Nations i hui pū ʻia me kaʻu hana ma ke ʻano he luna koho balota kūwaho ma 20 mau ʻāina i ʻike i nā hakakā koʻikoʻi a ʻo kaʻu noiʻi noiʻi i hōʻoia iaʻu aia kahi makemake nui e hāpai i ka maluhia ma waena o ka honua ma ke ʻano he koho i nā kaua. Ua komo wau i loko o ka hana hoʻomalu maluhia i ka makahiki 2001 i ka manawa aʻu i ʻike ai ua hoʻoholo ke Aupuni ʻIlalani e kōkua i ka US alakaʻi alakaʻi kaua ma Afghanistan ma ka ʻae ʻana i ka pūʻali koa US e hele ma waena o ke kahua mokulele ʻo Shannon i ko lākou ala i Afghanistan i ka uhaʻi pono ʻole o nā kānāwai kūwaho ma kūlike ʻole.
