Rescuing 20 innocents and ceasing the madness, at least for awhile, is a good thing.
That said anyone thinking we have “peace” should open a bridge-buying business... in Brooklyn.
What we have is a truce. Better than war, but not peace.
We have had a “truce” with North Korea, which has maintained only because of the presence of US Troops in South Korea and an unrelenting commitment to the military needs of the South Korean armed forces.
From time to time North Korea makes threatening noises they will again invade South Korea, but they have been deafeningly quiet in the recent few weeks. A show of force works almost always works at dampening aggressive actions whenever it is applied.
