    We wage peace and negotiate war. We are peacekeepers.

    Wage, in this case, means to "engage in, or carry on". Of course, the more common usage is "wage war", but I can see where you can "wage peace" as well. I would take that to mean actively working for peace.

    I agree just another spin phrase.

    My suggestion to the "hug your enemy crowd" is to go to Yellowstone and try to pet a Griz, scratch a Bison behind the ear or offer food to a Bull Elk or Moose.

    It takes more effort to be peaceful than it does to be violent.
