Peace..

  

I have, therefore, chosen this time and place to discuss a topic on which ignorance too often abounds and the truth too rarely perceived. And that is the most important topic on Earth: peace. 

What kind of a peace do I mean, and what kind of a peace do we seek? 

Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. 

Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. 

I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on Earth worth living, and the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and build a better life for their children. 

Not merely peace for Americans, but peace for all men and women  not merely peace in our time, but peace in all time.

What happened to these ideals? Just a thought.
