Dear Alfred: Cite one example where diplomacy has done anything other than delay a war. Unfortunatly, In the entire history of the world, only war and the threat of war has resulted in freeing a people from tyrrany and oppression. War has never resulted in a people becoming captive, UNLESS if it is per-empted in the name of “peace”

“My dynamite will sooner lead to peace than a thousand world conventions. As soon as men will find that in one instant, whole armies can be utterly destroyed, they surely will abide by golden peace.”

He has a bit of an inflated head when it comes to his own invention. Not even nukes, for pete’s sake, stopped war. Though they did prevent general war, in my opinion, between the U.S. and the Soviet Union.

Mutually assured destruction DOES do a better job of making peace than 'conventions'. Alfred was right.
