It was so nice to see him support Department of Peace! Please send him our support. He may shine light on the idea!

With this nation embroiled in what threatens to be an interminable "war on terrorism," an idea put forward last year by Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich has considerable appeal.
Kucinich, who was the one candidate in the Democratic primaries to unfailingly promote the party's traditional Franklin Roosevelt liberalism, proposed the establishment of a Department of Peace. He has introduced in the House a bill that would add a new Cabinet post to the executive branch of government. The Department of Peace
There is an urgency to its adoption. In this dangerous world, where the strength of the United States is needed to keep the peace, we need a visible manifestation of our intention to play that role, without the arrogance that cost us friends and allies among the nations and peoples of the world.
But no matter how far off it might be, it is an idea that deserves our attention. We can hope that Kucinich and those who are pioneers in supporting his bill stay the course and redouble their efforts.
