Not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women, not merely peace in our time

But PEACE FOR ALL TIME




"I have . . . chosen this time and this place to discuss a topic on which ignorance too often abounds and the truth is too rarely perceived-yet it is the most important topic on earth: world peace.

What kind of peace do I mean? What kind of peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for their children-not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women, not merely peace in our time but peace for all time. ."





How far we have fallen.

Sure has worked out really well for the Military Industrial Complex that Ike had just warned us was out of control.

This is the path the US was meant to take before the fascists killed him, and we have been at war ever since.
