ICH; Why Peace is Alien to the U.S.

Not For Profit - For Justice

"We can no longer afford to worship the god of hate or bow before the altar of retaliation. The oceans of history are made turbulent by the ever-rising tides of hate. History is cluttered with the wreckage of nations and individuals that pursued this self-defeating path of hate. As Arnold Toynbee says : "Love is the ultimate force that makes for the saving choice of life and good against the damning choice of death and evil. Therefore the first hope in our inventory must be the hope that love is going to have the last word."

"Now let us begin. Now let us rededicate ourselves to the long and bitter -- but beautiful -- struggle for a new world."

"Live so that your friends can defend you but never have to." -- Arnold H. Glasow - (1905-1998) American businessman, humorist
