War is over ( If you want it  )

What is wrong with war, is as Gandhi said.

"An eye for an eye will make us all blind".

I'd like to see the human race wake up to the danger and futility of war as soon as possible.

At the time, in the 60s, we thought we could change the world just like that! But it's taking a little bit more time!

Imagine all the people living life in peace.

I think that that's a very strong thing to do.
It might be a very controversial thing to do.
Because it's a very powerful thing to do.
But I think it's all right to say that.
I don't think that goes against the policy of this country or anything like that.
I think, in the end, all people in this country really want peace.
But how to get there, some people are thinking in a different way of course.
But imagining, that's something that we can all do, even when we have different opinions about how to get there.
Imagining peace, imagining peace.
That's okay.
That we can all do without feeling the conflict.

War is over if you want it
War is over NOW

Yoko Ono Lennon

The Imagine Peace Tower (Icelandic: Friðarsúlan, meaning "the peace column") is a memorial to John Lennon from his widow, Yoko Ono, located on Videy Island, off the coast of Reykjavík, Iceland. It consists of a tall "tower of light", projected from a white stone well which has the words "Imagine Peace" carved into it in 24 languages. These words, and the name of the tower, are a reference to Lennon's peace anthem, Imagine.

Buried underneath the light tower are upward of 500,000 written wishes that Ono gathered over the years in another project, called "The Wishing Tree". Ono plans to have the tower lit every year from 9 October, Lennon's birthday, through 8 December, the date he was shot. Iceland was selected for the project because of its beauty and its eco-friendly use of geothermal energy.^[1]

The idea started in 1965 when Ono thought of the tower and presented the idea to Lennon, who expressed interest in creating it.^[1] Construction of the tower started on 9 October, 2006 when Ono dedicated the location, and it was officially unveiled on the same date in 2007. In attendance with Ono were son Sean Lennon, bandmate Ringo Starr, and Olivia Harrison, widow of George Harrison, and Olivia's son Dhani Harrison. Paul McCartney was invited, but did not attend. Yoko Ono said on the day of the inauguration that the tower was the best thing that she and John had ever done.

The ceremony was broadcast internationally to numerous television networks.
