Peace is not the absence of war and must be created and maintained. When we do not fight all-out, but put war on a dimmer switch, we have people dying to no good ends. If we had started to hold other Nations to account for their actions around when this article was first put out we would be in a far deeper and harder conflict which would force the issue of just what, exactly, it is we seek to do.<br /><br />We still havn't done that and have had war on the dimmer switch.<br /><br />No good ever comes of that.A Jacksonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607888697879327120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20372724.post-42849155807459990662011-06-22T21:04:53.621-04:002011-06-22T21:04:53.621-04:00It is nice to find a site about my interest.
