I suppose this is a harsh sentiment on the Eve of Christmas. I will begin by saying that we live in glorious times despite a lot of we see around us. What I seriously question, however, is even the possibility of peace on earth. I do not believe it has ever existed in all places at any given point in history. I believe in many cases the question is not peace but peace on what terms? Most dictatorships achieved a modicum of peace thru force and suppresion of dissent. Does anyone believe there will ever be peace throughout the entire world? As much as I hate to say it, I do not believe it will ever exist except on a relative scale. Skirmishes will break out instead of world wars. Terrorists will continue to fight wars that in many ways are already lost. Someone, somewhere will find a justification to annex a territory.
Peace on earth. Will it happen or is it just a utopic dream?
