    It won't be needed. The neo-conservatives love to bring "peace" under barrel of the gun. They have no brains. Especially worse by threatening Iran, and oil can skyrocket over $200 a barrel. Seriously, why vote for Hillary, Obama, Giuliani, Huckabee, and the rest? They're all part of the same Bush-category. They're all in the CFR. They've never obeyed the Constitution, or even mention it. So, let the people choose, if they rather vote these phonies to destroy America, let it be it. I, for one, will stand out and vote for someone with integrity like Ron Paul. It's funny how they call him a "kook" and "nutjob" when he wants to return the country back to its Constitutional roots. I guess I'm a terrorist for obeying and defending the Constitution, right? So, you choose.

    Some people can't be reasoned with.

    Take Arafat. Nothing happened with any real meaning between the Palestinians and Israel, until he died. Now, things are moving better. Not fixed, but better.

    Many terror groups cannot be negocitated with. The only notable exception that comes to mind is the IRA, and they were able to be negotiated with because while they had different views than the British, they still had a whole lot of things in common.

    Whatever happend to letting organizations (like Doctors Without Borders) get involved with other countries instead of governments who by doing so continuously risk our national security..

    As Thomas Jefferson once said:

    "Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations -- entangling alliances with none."

    I'm afraid selfish motivations surpassed it as a priority for too much of the world. But if you look closely, it is still alive and kicking some places. There is hope.
