In the words of H.G. Wells, “If we don’t end war, war will end us.” It is thoroughly irresponsible of us to NOT discuss how we can create a more peaceful world. In the words of Dennis Kucinich, “We must challenge the belief that war is inevitable.” We must do this and do it now.

But we should make room for peace as well. I like the way trump is using economics to help people keep their word. We have to be realistic and optimistic.

You should mention the Department of Peace more often. The Department of State certainly isn’t making the grade.pic.twitter.com/RmXi82LOWr
