NY Magazine calls me a “peacemonger”...says my views “highly unusual” for “deep permanent defense-spending cuts & complete reorientation of international relations to focus on conflict prevention.” That I “challenge mainstream views of America’s role in the world.” IMAGINE THAT!

So great the ubiquitous power of the military-industrial-complex that in a presidential campaign w/ 20 candidates only 2 even dare mention it (both women).So entrenched the perception that brute force is our only problem-solving option that to question it is made to look “weird.”

Your view is the correct one but this country is not ready to hear it yet.

Yes, just imagine what America could look like if those those trillions of $$$ were re-invested in education, housing, and healthcare instead of foolishly playing war instead of peace!

Congrats on being a peace monger... it's a huge compliment. People that don't cherish peace have not seen the destruction of life without peace

Question, as this sounds akin to the approach that has been tried, and failed, in education. What happens when the 2 countries whose military is stronger than yours, that do NOT agree with peace, decide to invade? c.f. Crimea

Pitch a cabinet position for yourself and show the field we are unified.
