In times of rampant militarism and denial of every type of civilian conflict-resolution method, we must speed up our public education work about all the alternatives to military non-resolution of problems.

This article is an excellent point to start – or refresh your knowledge about intelligent and civilised conflict-handling. And it has, long ago, proven more effective. The problem is that today’s militarist kakistocrats want and promote war as the only solution, and do not have the intellectual or moral civil courage to see anything outside their dark boxes.

This is re-posted from the excellent peace news site that you would do wise to follow if you don’t already – the Transcend Media Service, TMS, once created by Johan Galtung and edited ever since by its tireless legend, Antonio Rosas.
