Is America in a position to enter a period of military peace? With the
announcement last week of complete withdrawal of combat troops from
Iraq, a winding down of the War in Afghanistan, an end to America's
multilateral participation against Qadaffi in Libya, and nearly
complete disruption of the al-Queda organization that attacked us on
9/11, it would appear America is headed for a period of relative peace
in the world. With such appearances, however, those dependent upon
military activism for financial, political, and other gains, have to
begin to oppose peace. We are hearing such voices rise up, already.
