Most of us would say we believe in peace. But I wonder if we really believe that peace - true peace - is possible? I read recently that someone has calculated that between 1500 B.C. and 1860 A.D., a period of roughly 3,300 years, more than eight thousand peace treaties have been signed.... 8000 treaties designed to put an end to war! They lasted an average of two years each.
Pretty discouraging statistics. And as the world gets smaller and the weapons of destruction become more powerful and more precise, is there any chance that peace will be achieved?
