John Tierney has an interesting editorial in the New York Times titled "Give Peace a Chance."
The new edition of "Peace and Conflict," a biennial global survey being published next week by the University of Maryland, shows that the number and intensity of wars and armed conflicts have fallen once again, continuing a steady 15-year decline that has halved the amount of organized violence around the world.
Not to mention, several countries/"organizations" that might think twice before picking a fight now that they know the U.S. or Russia has committed themselves to getting medieval on a country that steps out of line.
