Let’s Change

I was browsing without direction (is there any other kind of browsing?) and reading a little about the folly of expanded war in Afghanistan. Which made me think of the Department of War. True, it's called the Defense Department now because of some politically correct thinking back in the late 40's. But until that time it had always been the Department of War. Proud and unashamed of its mission to wage war where needed!

And then I thought of the opportunities that might be afforded by our new President. Here's a man that proclaims 'Change' at every opportunity. Could he be persuaded to create a Department of Peace? Imagine a department whose sole mission is to avoid war and threats of war by peaceful means. Let's face it, peace has never had an advocate in any president's cabinet. Now there's a change I could support!
