I'm always amused, but not for the "right" reasons, at those lists of "dumb" things politicians say. Frankly, given how many words a year they utter off the cuff, and most of them recorded, I'm amazed they make as few gaffes as they do. Just go listen in court sometime to lawyers who are suposed to be smart and trained advocates, and you'll hear a ton of dumb stuff in just a few hours.

Today's Post has a list of religious groups with anti-war web sites. Long list.

washingtonpost.com

Here's the list of Jewish links. I haven't yet checked them out.

Jews Join Peace Effort

American Jews are also making their voices heard in the antiwar movement. The Philadelphia-based Shalom Center (www.shalomctr.org) calls on Jewish leaders to speak out against a war in Iraq. The center links to Americans For Peace Now (www.peacenow.org), a group that advocates peace in the Middle East and mostly concentrates on issues related to Israel and the Palestinians.

The Religious Action Center of Reformed Judaism (www.rac.org) has an online resource guide to help readers "better understand both the current situation in Iraq and the organized Jewish community's response." The group offers an Iraq crisis e-mail update list.

Most Jewish groups dedicated to peace are focused on Israel, including www.jewishpeacefellowship.org, www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org, www.jewishpeacethread.com/, www.peacelobby.org and www.junity.org
