NEW YORK -- The full-page ad in The New York Times carried a simple message: "Imagine all the people living life in peace."

The John Lennon lyric, carried on page 29 of Sunday's paper, was a message from his widow, Yoko Ono, in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, her spokesman confirmed Tuesday.

The eight-word quotation from Lennon's "Imagine" was unaccompanied by any photos or text. Ono decided not to sign the ad because "she felt it would be more effective if her name wasn't on it," explained spokesman Eliot Mintz.

"Imagine all the people living life in peace."

I encourage her to mail a tape of the song to Bin Laden and see how persuasive he finds it.

Message to Yoko: We were imagining all the people living life in peace. Then we were attacked by terrorists. And we had to face reality.

Why doesn't Yoko join with the "Reverend" Jesse who is reportedly traveling to Afghanistan to ask the Taliban to make love, not war? PUKE.

Yes, exactly, that is what we are going to fight this war for - Peace and safety for Americans.

Why doesn't she ask the Talaban for peace instead of attacking the victims? Isn't she getting old for this... All of Lennon's money has taken whatever reason she might have had and has suspended her in the '60s. She has even expoited his name on BABY clothes in her greed!

You forgot the MAJOR BARF ALERT!!!!!

Hasn't she dissolved yet? Shut the hell up Yoko.

We aren't dealing with sane people and they don't want peace.

perhaps the advert should be in the Jalalabad Times or the Kabul Daily Express.
