Sweet thread.
If war is the use of violence to accomplish political objectives, then maybe peace is... instead of the absence of war or violence... simply the use of non-violence to accomplish political objectives. Peace is fair representative politics.
We shouldn't try to define peace as the absence of something. That's like saying life is the absence of being murdered.
Notice how I just turned that around so the War on Terror is even MORE justified? When I'm allowed to define the terms, peaceful nations cannot deal peacefully with violent states or people.

How can someone who obviously thinks so much of their ideas have so little respect for expressing them? How can someone who so yearns to be taken seriously make so little effort?!
