It is sad and worrisome that public opinion in whatever country continues to lean towards a support for militarism and violence when faced with conflict and crisis. There is an illusion of strength to overcome the "enemy". My great hope is that humanity will move towards a desire for peace despite conflict, and learn to live out of a commitment to nonviolent resistance and early nonviolent means to resolve the conflict. The question is: how can the peace movement educate the public on nonviolence as a way of living in good times and in conflict? How can humanity come to appreciate its intelligence, creativity, and deepest values which would lead to far more effective alternatives to war, revenge, retaliation and every form of violence.
