Department of Peace on CNN Headline News

Well done, Ms. Greene!

Did you notice that the pro-war gal kept interrupting and shouting over the others? Bullying to make her point. A DoP would teach us respectful discourse even if we disagree. It is myopic to only see war as the tool for peace. War is obsolete at resolving conflict, it is antiquated and needs to be replaced or at a minimum balanced by non-violent techniques for creating peace.

This is great, just great, to see live and in action the upset caused by the word "peace" to the holders of the status quo. As was so clearly pointed out, the status quo does not work, we do not have peace, we have a nation addicted to violence as the only conflict-resolution strategy. If any one listens carefully and ignores the awful background images, Wendy says that alternative options are capable of preventing violence. Ask a soldier or policeman, is that a good idea?

Violence is not inevitable - look up the Seville Statement on Violence - but we've been so conditioned to believe that it IS that we will need a concerted and evidence-based effort to turn around that thinking and it's resultant behavior at home and abroad. Violence and greed may have helped make this country a major power in the world, but they are now working against us. We need to organize and marshall every resource we can to ensure peaceful and healthy coexistence for future generations.

the woman in green has been brainwashed into believing that war is the answer, she is operating from a fear based paradigm. i wonder who pays her to say what she does.
