Peace Is Possible

Article 1: Terrorism

Do you have any hope that peace is possible?  I believe it is.

The problem is that no one ever offers a plan for peace in plain English.

War is Peace?

Some say we must have war for peace. Others say peace will require tax-based foreign aid for one or more countries.

But peace in our age will not require war. And peace cannot require endless taxation, because taxation, itself, is not a peaceful activity.

Peace is Peace

No, today’s true path to peace is, well, peaceful, which means it will immediately save, not cost, in both lives and money.

Therefore, this site addresses the subject of terrorism, and offers practical ways to get more peace right away.  And it does this in plain language, as any good summary should.

Lastly, I will offer a way you can help spread the message that peace is possible.

The Basic Problem:

To gain peace we must stop our politicians from their practices of:

Enabling,
Enriching, and
Inspiring terrorists,

and replace their actions with those that history has shown – and that common sense tells us – will:

Disable,
Defund, and
Deflate terrorists.

Enabling vs. Disabling Terrorists

No one wants to help terrorists. So, which should we do?

Politicians enable terrorists by banning our choices for airline security. They are literally forcing passengers to be sitting ducks for a few guys with box cutters.

A better system would allow many choices for airline security. More choices in airline security would disable terrorists

Any sane government would stop spending money enabling terrorists, and disable them immediately by replacing expensive regulations with free choices in airline security. And that, in plain English, is what we should do if we want peace.  (My longer discussion of this topic is here.)

Enriching vs. Defunding Terrorists

No one wants to help terrorists. So, which should we do?

Politicians in Washington, DC are enriching terrorists with their Drug War. Washington enforces a single national policy that pushes drugs onto the illegal market and into the hands of ruthless people who care nothing about your children and who sponsor the flying of planes into buildings.

A better system would stop enriching gangs, cartels, and terrorists and handle drugs the relatively boring and peaceful way we handle alcohol. This approach would defund terrorists.

Certainly, without dictating anything to anyone, any sane federal government would stop spending money enriching terrorists, and instead, largely defund terrorists immediately by replacing expensive federal drug regulations with free choices for each of the 50 states. Let the states decide the drug issue for themselves. Period. And that, in the plainest English I can find, is what we should do if we want peace. (My longer discussion of this topic is here.)

Inspiring vs. Deflating Terrorists

No one wants to help terrorists build their organizations. So, what road should we take?

Politicians inspire terrorists by trying to run the world. Politicians inspire terrorist recruiting by reckless use of the military.

It would not inspire terrorists if we were to govern and defend only ourselves. Therefore, a better system would reach only for these clearly peaceful goals, and would deflate terrorist recruiters.

We must stop our government from taking sides in the Middle East.
We must stop our government from invading countries.
We must stop our government from placing military bases worldwide.

Any sane federal government would stop spending money inspiring terrorists, and deflate terrorists immediately by replacing the current expensive U.S. war machine with an affordable, modest, and serious defense. And that, in plain English, is what we should do if we want peace.

In Brief

Peace is Possible, but only if we stop:

Enabling,
Enriching, and
Inspiring terrorists,

and, instead:

Disable,
Defund, and
Deflate terrorists.

Peace is Possible, and will save lives and resources. Yes, we have a reason to be passionate about this.  The politicians are ruining our chances for peace!

Spreading the Message

There is overwhelming reason to believe that politicians will ignore these good ideas unless everyone is talking about them, because these ideas demand that politicians give up power.

But this is serious business! If we actually stopped politicians from enabling, enriching and inspiring terrorists, and instead disabled, defunded and deflated them, we would have:

A life without much worry over terrorism.
A life with little cause for fear.
A life with a lot more…peace.

But we must face up to the fact that peace being possible, and peace being real are two very different things. If peace is to be real, we will need an army of supporters to force politicians to stop their madness and adopt our modest and affordable peace program.

So, I created this  web site: PeaceIsPossible.com

Just click here, and you can:

Put it on your car, and others will see it and get one, too. The message will spread.

Everyone wants peace!

Imagine politicians having to change their position to the road of peace – because PeaceIsPossible.com bumper stickers were everywhere and this site has a real peace plan.

Get yours now, and be a trailblazer for peace!

Put it on your car. Others will see it and get one, too. The message will spread.

Peace Is Possible.
