peace and dialogue

In light of recent posts and comments, this seemed appropos.

Peace and Dialogue

It is my belief that whereas the twentieth century has been a century of war and untold suffering, the twenty-first century should be one of peace and dialogue. As the continued advances in information technology make our world a truly global village, I believe there will come a time when war and armed conflict will be considered an outdated and obsolete method of settling differences among nations and communities.

Excellent advice. If Kerry wins, I'll opt for #2 and #5. ;)
