No, I am not. I am asserting that peace is a worthy objective. If you want to understand where I am coming from you have to know that I went to a Quaker college and am influnced by their work.

I did not buy the liberalism, but I understand that being a Christian is proactive. You do not wait for someone to attack you so you can kill him, if it is within your means to avoid violent conflict.

How this works out in real life is not a simple thing. I am not a democrat and I basically agree with Bush's foreign policy. Sometimes a lesser conflict avoids a greater conflict.

Nathanael Greene was a Quaker.

I am asserting that peace is a worthy objective.

I have been asserting that apart from the Prince of Peace there is not now, never has been, and never will be peace - within a single man, between man and his Maker, between persons, or between nations. The only peace the world - the UN, as one unit of this sphere - has to offer is a false, temporary one. That's all the weapons Satan has, the twisting and mimicking of what is actually true.

A person on morphine might be considered to be at peace. But that is not peace.

A treaty of peace between nations - Israel and any who pledge peace with her, for example - as we have seen demonstrated time and again, is a very temporary and unreliable one.

The anitchrist is coming with great promises and even false signs and wonders of peace which men will swallow like morphine. After a mere 3 and a half years this greatest promise of worldly peace this worldly world and world-dwellers has ever bought into will be shown for what it really is: a lie. Much like Darwinism. Like Communism. Like Huxley's Utopia.

But the Peace Made With God In Christ Jesus at the cross is not false. It is true. And it will prove so in the end.

Truthful lips will be established forever,
But a lying tongue is only for a moment.
~Proverbs 12:19
