On March 20-23, the third meeting of the Campaign to Establish a Cabinet Level Dept of Peace met at the Hyatt Regency in Crystal City, Arlington VA. The location itself feels paradoxical - conference goers meet in this location surrounded by the offices of some of the biggest organizations that solely exist to profit from war and unrest; KBR (Haliburton), Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, and any number of offices of lobbyists that are situated a stone’s throw across the Potomac from the legislative core of the United States.

The Inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United
States was an emotionally charged event for me and the people I met
today.
I met people from all over the country since I arrived Sunday night
and they all spoke of our new President as a poltican that will engage
the country and bring us together as a people.
Today was a huge celebration of our democracy.

The fact is, while Mr. Bush, Mr. Olmert, Ms. Livni, Mr. Netanyahu, Ms. Rice, Mr. Cheney, Mr. al-Masri and the rest orchestrate their brutal murders, we will never advance as a species until we accept that ALL WARS ARE FAILURES. When you orchestrate a war that incinerates a child, the death of that child, the blood of that child, the loss of that child, will tarnish you forever. All situations are failures when innocents are harmed. If one child injures another in a sandbox, their play date was a failure. If a police car kills innocents during a pursuit, the pursuit was a failure. If a father burns his house down while attempting to warm it, the attempt was a failure. If children die in war, the war was a failure. Of this, I have not doubt.

For years since the United States invaded Iraq, I’ve witnessed countless photo and video images of innocent civilians - men, women, teens and children - being rudely and aggressively
threatened by hired uniformed militants (mostly men), wielding guns. I’ve seen these images from Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Haiti, Palestine, and more. Whether they be armed American military threatening Iraqis, armed Israeli soldiers threatening Palestinians, or armed Ethiopian troops threatening Somalis, the images have always disturbed me. There’s an inherent injustice to such blatant imbalance of power. An injustice I suffered recently myself.

Christiane Amanpour’s CNN special tonight “Scream Bloody Murder” on genocide was quite timely after this week’s Munk Debate on Humanitarian Intervention. Both events posed the question of whether the international community has an obligation to intervene in situations of genocide and other man-made crises when a country is unable to protect itself? The most obvious example that comes to mind is that of Rwanda in the early 1990s…
