Give Peace a Chance!

Those who believe that the idea of peace is nothing more than an unrealistic notion embraced by liberals and hippies ignore its ability to heal and transform the world. Our world is being torn apart by a corrupt ideology rooted in the belief that violence solves problems. That enemies and opponents of our perspectives can be destroyed through literal violence or violent rhetoric. The time is now for advocates of peace to challenge the culture of war that threatens to continue to sow the seeds of violence into the fertile soil of democracy. We must peacefully resist attempts by the powerful to use violence to subdue the world for its imperialistic purposes. Peace must be the weapon for those who believe that change is not only essential but necessary if our world is to be rescued from the violent path that we are currently on.
