Simple way to destroy our country:  Don't fight.


--- Quote ---New Age guru Marianne Williamson on Monday announced that as president she would create a Department of Peace.

Ms. Williamson, whose offbeat campaign has grabbed voters’ attention if not high poll numbers, said a Cabinet-level peace secretary would help end the scourge of violence in the U.S. and across the globe.

She called the elite U.S. war machine “obsolete” and that “we can no longer rely on force to rid ourselves of international enemies.”

“The planet has become too small for that, and in so doing, we overburden our military by asking them to compensate for the other work that we choose not to do, and we are less effective, and less secure, because of our choices,” said Ms. Williamson, author of several best-selling inspirational books.

Earlier, Ms. Williamson floated plans for a new Department of Children and Youth that would focus on protecting and uplifting the country’s children.

Or we could go back to calling the defense department "War Department," like the good ol' days.

I propose we deal with international enemies by shunning them. Just don't pay any attention to them and they'll feel so bad about themselves, they'll stop slaughtering people. Everyone wants to be liked, even oppressive, murderous tyrants.
