In the Bosnian city of Mostar, about a hundred Muslims and Croats united for an anti-war protest - the first such cross-community action in seven years in a place where ethnic divisions here remain tense despite the 1995 Bosnian peace agreement.

"We want to say that war is evil and that we who survived one know that better than anyone," said Majda Hadzic, 54.

In divided Cyprus, about 500 Greeks and Turks braved heavy rain for a march which briefly blocked the end of a runway at a British air base. Several thousand protesters in Athens, Greece, unfurled a giant banner across the wall of the ancient Acropolis - "NATO, U.S. and EU equals War" - before heading toward the U.S. Embassy.

When people who have been at each other's throats for generations suddenly team up to speak out against something, I think that's of a significance that's not so small.

It has been my desire to make a set of 1000 Blank White Cards using an actual deck of Vis-Ed 1000 Blank White Cards. My cards came in a week or two ago, but I haven't gotten a game together yet, for that is when the cards are made - when everyone sits down to play. I mentioned this to Napalm and he asked me which ruleset I was planning on using. I didn't realize that there were more than one. So he started throwing me some links, and upon some of those I started finding more. Only three of these actually contain some "rules":
