Peace out
Who doesn't love peace? I love peace. You love peace. We all love peace together. Give peace a chance. Except when those who advocate it are actually scuzballs.
New Criterion: The swindle of "peace studies"
"Peace Department"? Where is George Orwell when you need him? Why not just call it the "Ministry of Peace" (right next door to the Ministry of Love and down the street from the Ministry of Truth) and be done with it?
This is not just an American phenomenon. Canada's big into the peace racket. U of T has its Trudeau Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies. The University of Calgary has peace studies. There's even a Calgary Peace Prize. Who knew? And there's to be a stomp around Eau Clair market on Sept. 21, the International Day Peace ("Join the worldwide movement to create a Global Ceasefire and day of peace and nonviolence. We have 10 days to make it happen!" Well, good luck with that. How's it going in Darfur? And did you manage to get the Taliban onside?)
The modern peace racket was all started by a Norwegian Marxist named Johan Galtung, a fellow full of praise for Mao Tse-Tung (Zedong). Galtung "also originated the concept of Peace Journalism, increasingly influential in communications and media studies" according to this Wikipedia article. Peace journalism? My, my. This must be an example of peace journalism--Haaretz, Sept. 10: Ingredients for a true peace process

I recommend starting a center for military history.
We'll call it the General George S. Patton Center for the Study of Victory.
Too aggressive?

My other bumper sticker:
GIVE WAR A CHANCE!
I got sick & tired of seeing those give peace a chance cut-and-runners in their Smart cars. Anyone driving those coffins on wheels is obviously NOT smart.

Ironic, how the so-called peace movement got started by a marxist.

Not really ironic, but predictable. They mean to destroy us from within. This is their methodology.

"Peace studies" is just leftard code for "expansion of soviet civil systems golbally"...nothing more nothing less.
Behind every "Peace activist" you will find:
1) A committed statist of Orwellian proportions
2) A eugenics and depopulation proponent cloaked in a "green" disguise
3) A proponent of "sustainable development" politics ( which is soviet regulatory and civil order married to fascist economics on a global scale)
4) At a leadership level the Peace activists in the UN are IMP camp followers who profiteer in 3rd world nations held in oppressive dictatorships (peace) and plundered by IMF profiteers...peace at all costs...even if it means repressing a needed revolution against despotism...UN/IMF profiteering comes first.

.. . and the leaders of these groups are all well-paid, like the heads of Sierra Club, Greenpeace, PETA, etc. Salaries range from half a million annually to three-quarters of a million dollars.

Yes, the ‘progressive' forces of the world are all for peace.
First, kill off all the dissenters or dehumanize them, then there will be peace.
Hey, if it works for Islamofascists, it'll work for the utopian/totalitarians.
What the political bastard children of the scientifically-nonsensical evolution theory do not realize is that individual human beings have had the same level of intellectual capacity through the history of mankind.
Totally freakin' delusional Kumbaya hummers.
