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