Cynthia McKinney, Green Party Presidential Candidate, talks about Department of Peace. We need to send a message to the world . . . we are going to be a force for good in the world. No more weapons transfers to countries that violate Human Rights.

Cynthia's heart is in the right place, but I smell a Trojan horse here. More bureaucracy to put policy- and decision-making in the hands of even fewer control freaks. As long the state apparatus determines weapons sales and decisions on war or peace there will never be peace. Only a gov't accountable to the people, who long for peace, will be peaceful.

We cannot be any kind of a force of good in this harsh world when in our nation children are not safe in their own bedrooms, streets or in the womb, and also in the fascination and promotion of violence in the media.
Society cannot support and promote aggression on one hand, and promote any kind of concrete peace around the world. It's hypocritical, and aware people see that.
