Also. . .no doubt tied into R.J. Rummel. . .and his case for Democracy as well. . .and why Democracies are peaceful. . .vs the 'tyrannical. . .ie totalitarian governments which threaten the existance of their citizens. (Famine/starvation (Genocide); labor camps/prison/torture. . .'citizen slavery''. . .threaten other governments. . .etc/et al. . .

More people die. . .at the hands of their own government; than by war.

Peace? Not without 'freedom' first.

Forget the old 'flower-power'. . .forget the 'make Peace/not WAR. . .

Instead. . .just let us help 'make FREEDOM'. . .and PEACE, will follow.

(and. . .yes, of course world is not perfect; and will never be;but we can only strive to make it better - for more people. Then, the world at least, is a little safer. . .not less.)

An entirely worthy call for any nation to rise to. . .

That said. . .will look for this book as well. And Professor R.J. Rummel can be found by an easy google. . .

(heard earlier someone in Media, quoting Kant, I think. . as well. . .re Bush's speech.)
