I agree with Elliot totally.

Peace also comes at a cost. To get peace something else has to be compromised.

Marianne Williamson paints pretty pictures. She is all talk and no do. She says one thing but she can't practice what she preaches. She is a publisher of books, writing and talking pretty and making money. She is a gifted talker with a real pretty voice.

Current statistics also show that most people prefer to solve problems with violence.

We all know that bullies back off when they are confronted. But as Elliot explained Terrorist cannot be stopped with nice and kind words of peace.

Just as radiation is used on cancer so must radiation (killing) of terrorist (disease?) is also a practical option.

Deseases of one sort or another will always exist and so will bullies and terrorists.

I would suggest that you read:

People of the Lie: Toward a Psychology of Evil by M. Scott Peck (author of the Road Less Traveled) and books by Dr. Laura Schlessinger who speak of people who do not have the ability to comprehend niceness or goodness so peace is meaningless to them.

Also the government can be somewhat like Marianne Williamson in that they can talk about nice things like peace but believe me they will resort to violecnce & intimidation more often than by talking nice. Fear/intimidation is an old technique of controlling people.

I know Laura Schlessinger. Her books are a good read, and I have found her to be a wonderful person. She is a recently re-affiliated Jew who has come back into the fold of Orthodox Judaism. And I like her personally, and in terms of her philosophy. Highly recommended.

Good work, Tarot.
