Peace is the Way [antikvár]

WAR ENDS TODAY 10 day isa good day for war to come to an end. The symbolic number of I,000 U.S. casualties was passed today in Iraq—I am writing this on September 9, 2004—most of the deaths occurring after victory was declared over a year ago. What is the world like on the day you read this? I cannot predict, but I know, even if this particular war is over, you will be confronted with terrorism, suicide bombings, insurrections and civil war somewhere on the planet, and nuclear threats from U.S.-labeled "rogue" nations like North Korea and Iran. Violence will still be raging out of control, no matter what day you read these words. at the outset of 2003 it was estimated that thirty military conflicts were being fought around the world. It's a good day for all these wars to come to an end. But will they? And if they do, what will replace them? To end war, you have to think of ending not just one conflict, and not just thirty. What we have to end is the idea of war.
