Never mind the second coming and the fourth dimension, Nancy Skougor and Paul Hilder are sending out the call for a [third force](http://www.build-a-third-force.net/?ref=opendemocracy.net):

*"We call for the just and peaceful resolution of all conflicts, for the uprooting of fear and want.* 
  
*From around the world we say: our brothers and sisters in the Middle East have the right to take responsibility for their future.* 
  
*We call for ceasefires and civil society-mediated talks including all sides, for citizen movements beyond borders to build peace and democracy, and for non-aligned multinational forces to replace US power in Iraq.* 
  
*...We think we share a vision of a Third Force for peace, democracy and justice – a network-enabled global civil society movement of movements that is self-organising, self-supporting. We think we can work together, beyond borders, independently, to question and transform the other forces of our world".*

So, nothing too ambitious then.
