When I read this article I thought of that stupid song by John Lennon. I won’t bother putting those words to that tune here because they are lame as hell…

One of the many failings of our educational system is that it sends out into the world people who cannot tell rhetoric from reality. They have learned no systematic way to analyze ideas, derive their implications and test those implications against hard facts.

“Peace” movements are among those who take advantage of this widespread inability to see beyond rhetoric to realities. Few people even seem interested in the actual track record of so-called “peace” movements — that is, whether such movements actually produce peace or war.

Peace movements have never worked and they never will. The author of this article is right on with that statement. If anything the peace movements create more war.

Take the Middle East. People are calling for a cease-fire in the interests of peace. But there have been more cease-fires in the Middle East than anywhere else. If cease-fires actually promoted peace, the Middle East would be the most peaceful region on the face of the earth instead of the most violent.

Heh. Peace and Middle East just don’t go together. At all. And it’s never been peaceful so those who tend to blame Israel should shut up and go read history.

There was a time when it would have been suicidal to threaten, much less attack, a nation with much stronger military power because one of the dangers to the attacker would be the prospect of being annihilated.

“World opinion,” the U.N. and “peace movements” have eliminated that deterrent. An aggressor today knows that if his aggression fails, he will still be protected from the full retaliatory power and fury of those he attacked because there will be hand-wringers demanding a cease fire, negotiations and concessions.

The modern day hand wringlers are those we call liberals and Democrats. As well as the governments of France and most of Europe (who do indeed forget they have been the very targets of regimes hell bent on anything but peace; and who we rescued from their own peace wet dreams.

The most catastrophic result of “peace” movements was World War II. While Hitler was arming Germany to the teeth, “peace” movements in Britain were advocating that their own country disarm “as an example to others.”

British Labor Party Members of Parliament voted consistently against military spending and British college students publicly pledged never to fight for their country. If “peace” movements brought peace, there would never have been World War II.

Not only did that war lead to tens of millions of deaths, it came dangerously close to a crushing victory for the Nazis in Europe and the Japanese empire in Asia. And we now know that the United States was on Hitler’s timetable after that.

The liberals have made sure these facts are not as well taught in modern day classes. We have a generation of people who just don’t know history as we know it. It’s an intenional oversight too…because those who are educating our young don’t want the truth to be known. They are socialist, borderline communists who want to see the world go totally in that direction. They don’t understand that our current enemy will destroy them as well. Because the current enemy- extreme Islam, wants to see a world dominated by Taliban like regimes. Over my dead body will that happen. It should be over all our dead bodies- but, for some, peace movements are the end all goal for this world full of evil.
