Colonialism is now called a peace plan. War promotion is now called a peace prize. Have we all just heard good news for Palestine and Venezuela? I think we should look a little more closely. A great opportunity to better understand the problems of war and what we really need to be doing is the upcoming annual conference of World BEYOND War. I hope to see you there!
