For the first time in American history a president and secretary of state are taking the lead in changing the world from war-torn lands to peace-loving countries that care more about people than futile war economies that profit government corporations the most.
Dear Ones,
When it comes to history, no change comes easy, Years of time roll by as this metamorphose finally establishes its victorious wisdom through enlightenment. Reformation, especially in dealing with militant warrior leaders, is as slow of molasses on a dark, cold winter's night.
Therefore progress often goes through eons of time since the populace has been programmed and conditioned into war as the only means of deliberation. Military drones are lethal, particularly when innocent people are caught in the crossfire. But it is a step in a right direction. At least it eliminates thousands of combat armed forces from being slaughtered or crippled for life by all out total war.
In the meantime, Earth is left with the dregs of war–stockpiled ammunition and weaponry that cost billions of dollars as well as aftermath pollution of urban war zones–already illegal according to International Law.
Besides soldiers, the tainted lands are contaminated and pocked by undetonated bombs going back to the world wars. Those who are assigned the job of trying to restore waste land mess are just as brave as combat soldiers and should get the same amount of perks. They risk their lives as the cleanup committees. Great valor is not limited to the military that provokes deaths and environmental problems.
In a world committed to accumulental toxic wars for centuries, this outmoded, obsolete method of stopping the opposition by killing people is now surpassed by an even more corrosive method than nuclear and H-bombs. Earth is now threatened with cyber wars.
But there is hope in one human value left–friendship and communication. The last administration was so stubborn and afraid to talk to their so-called enemies that little or no progress was made in the name of diplomacy. When centuries of warfare have failed, there is a new method not yet explored until now–communication.
The world is fortunate to have US leaders who talk with those who oppose them. There's usually some good reason for disastrous friction. Taking US foreign policy leadership are the president and secretary of state, the latter being John Forbes Kerry, former senator–a combat soldier in Vietnam who earned the Silver Star, the Bronze Star and three Purple Hearts for his heroic courage.
His criticism of George W. Bush for starting the Iraq War is worthy of note. Mr. Kerry also established the Keeping America's Promise PAC program. With a president and secretary of state such as these two visionary men, the wisdom of the centuries shines through the din off war. The most highly commendable future involves a peace economy. What greater honor can America contribute to the world!
