Yeah, that’ll work.

We need to remember that there are at least TWO definitions of “peace.”
1. The absence of war or conflict. This is the one embraced by most free peoples of the world.
2. The absence of RESISTANCE to aggression, attack or policies, doctrines and ideologies of a barbarous system with which one disagrees. This is the one held by most western liberals, communists (now called progressives and Democrats) and the islamofascists.
If the second definition prevails, it invariably leads to the third and final “peace” for the losers — that of the beheading sword, firing squad, bullet behind the ear, etc. and on to the graveyard or lime pit.
A religion of pieces maybe. (Beheading, etc.)
