"The only reliable resource for security in the world today is relationship. When relationships are healthy, you don't need any military to protect you. When relationships are unhealthy, even the largest military in the world won't make you safe."
John Burch, September 11, 2001
The finest, smartest, cheapest, highest, most benevolent, most logical and most reliable alternative to war is relationship!
"It is my belief that the age of nations has past. We don't need more American patriotism, we need more global patriotism. Or call it "Earth Nationhood" if you like. If people could only see that, to love America, we need to love all nations, the earth, all life, and each other FIRST -- then, and only then, individual nations second. It is CRITICAL that we do NOT celebrate America in any manner which precludes an expanded level of concern for all life. It is NOT helpful."
