Musician Michael Franti whose band is "Spearhead," came up with the best wisdom of all.
"You can bomb the world to pieces, but you can't bomb ito into peace!"
I have spent decades collecting world-wide pro-peace quotations of the astute–my post called "Zillions of Voices for Peace" and "Songbirds and Peace"–Angels for Peace." Michael Franti stated his passion most succinctly for sustained international peace.
Dear Ones,
Perhaps if wonderful peace-loving authorities in the United States government would deliver water, coffee beans and doughnuts to the foe and suffering refugees caused by the foe, would the terrorists still hate the US as much as they do? Seriously, though, ancient wisdom says you can make more friends and headway with honey than you can with vinegar–the truth of the pudding.
Backward corporate nations are still using old-fashioned deformity bombs filled with toxic chemicals and radioactive waste that just piss people and Earth off because they are the biggest cause of global warming as well as what kills their families.''
When America was attacked during the Bush administration bombs were not used. Instead it was an alternative that totally took Americans by surprise. And there is no safety in surprise. Therefore a strong coalition of nations against extremist religion should be using the very best sources for political action and good ways to attract young people instead of provoking them into aggression. T
It is not weaponry that we should fear. It is vicious hatred of rival religions in which young people are hoodwinked into man-made rules of a heaven that is the figment of human imagination, Centuries of slaughter that always cause endless slaughter only increase violence and terrorism.
Military strategy only lasts until the gun smoke clears as it again rises from another location. Government coffers from tax payers should be used against diseases, such as ebola, instead of lethal arsenals. It is up to the strength of the people to stop government war economies, the source of the violence. Nations that produce deadly ammo and weapons often have the same munitions blown back to them. Boomerangs are what is to be feared.
For political power the world needs to educate young people so they are undaunted and strong enough to resist poisonous words they are being taught out of ignorance. Man-made cults aggravate their gods who would never bomb their own creations as war departments do.
Only through dedicated political diplomacy, sincere negotiation and secular education will wars cease. Each nation themselves must also defend themselves with harmonious means and education. Good will is the most powerful force on Earth, one planet for all.
