On May 10th, 2007 after three months of planning and hard working, 14 Iranians embarked on a journey to convey Iranians pacifist message to the world.

We Iranians are peace-loving people.
We Iranians, love all other nations.
We Iranians wish to be constructive members of the international community.

The trip lasted 70 days and started from Rome,Italy and was to continue on 18 more cities in four more countries.

To convey its message and show its determination the team rode certain distances between and within cities on bike. While traveling
city by city they also met with the mayors of those cities and presented them with the trophy of peace as a symbol of Iranians good
will.

Given the current world affair and the ever growing stream of threats and demonization against Iran and its people , Miles for Peace was an
attempt towards change. Hoping to improve what is unfairly associated with Iran and its people. A country which for centuries was the land
of the glory and the center of civilization and through out the course of history has embraced a nation of love and faith and
sacrifice and bravery.

Despite all the obstacles ,the most important thing about Miles for Peace is that "it happened".
It was important for it to happen at this point of time. Although there were tons of things about it that could have been better or
might have gone wrong, and even though relative to what is yet to be done, it was just a small attempt , our only encouragement is that it
was and is a beginning to the long journey to peace.

Now that we have returned home, moving towards a more structured system , and having gained more support and enriched with lots of
experience and wisdom as a result of the trip itself we intend to continue down this road more determined than before.

Miles for peace was just a beginning with a more important and long term plan in mind. The foundation of "Road to Peace" . Road To Peace
would pursue systematic and practical ways of achieving a long standing peace for all nations, Iran included.

The website would still be our main way of communication and for now our main focus would be to promote peace with Iran and to defy our
negligent and apathetic tendencies, turning them into serious concerns.

Miles For Peace Manifest

We Iranians are peace-loving people;; we aspire for a genuine and sustainable peace, for our own nation as well as all other members of the great family of humankind. We view such peace as the divine essence of humanity.

The peaceful and humanitarian nature of the Iranian people is well reflected by a poem of our great 13th century national poet; Saadi, which is carved on the main entrance of the United Nation Organization:

Of one essence is the human race
Thusly has creation put the base

One limb impacted is sufficient
For all others to feel the mace

We Iranians, love all other nations. It was one of our ancient kings Cyrus (who lived more than 2500 years ago) who set the example, motto and criterion as to how to treat strangers in war and in peace.

We Iranians wish to be constructive members of the international community. we believe that :

Humanity is an indivisible entity
The world is home to all humans
No man and no nation are needless of other men and other nations
No nation is superior or inferior to any other nation.

We Iranians desire to contribute to the enrichment of culture and science and to the sustainability of peace for our nation as well as all others.

We believe that every success in every field by any individual in any part of the world belongs to the human community as a whole. In the same way, we believe that any form of aggression and moral transgression anywhere in the world, brings shame and disgrace to all humans and has a devastating impact on the entire body of human society. That is why each one of us has to take responsibility vis-à-vis all world events. We hope that governments across the world respect and uphold this universal longing of man for peace.
