Any pipsqueak can bring war, but only the strong can bring peace.

[Ron Green]

Other than the Olympics, I can't think of one occasion where shouts of "U-S-A!" are appropriate; and yet our media have sent those images around the world.

In a world that calls for forbearance, forgiveness and exemplary action, we're in a race to the bottom.

1. Yup

Hope y'all don't mind being in harm's way when someone decides to exact a little retribution on these hammerheads.

2. Your call will fall on deaf ears.

And those with deafer minds will point at those with deaf ears and say, "But what about THEM?"

And they will divide themselves up accordingly and howl identical inuslts at each other based on morally identical positions until the ceiling of the world falls.

Your sentiment is noble, and I would surmise that you are, too, but I have an observation of my own - peace cannot be "made" or "brought", peace *is*.

3. If those with the greatest strength take the risk of looking weak,

then I believe peace can be brought. The problem is that we substitute physical force for spiritual strength.
