Thomas Barrett - The Pentagon's new map for war and peace

A new way of thinking on war for me. Not really a surprising idea, the problem is I didn't hear about it, yet. Wars in the past were started to get territories, usually the main powers were accepting the changes on the world maps, and if some citizens didn't agree, then they were executed... Well we are trying to establish a more "democratic" world in the last century, which means, that the citizens who disagree with the new situation shouldn't be butchered without consequences. But on the other hand we want as few as possible resistance on the conquered territories.
I think the sentence, which describes the presentation the best is:
"Don't plan for the war, until you plan for peace."
The presentator enforces the creation of a new force in the US army, which would specialize on "peacekeeping", it should be an open platform, which means that it should after a while be based on international cooperation rather then a US specialized force. The goal of the force should be - gaining trust, help at the rebuilding phase and give the possibility for a clean start. Anyway, the idea, how I understood it, sounds good, has of course it's possibilities in misusing, but generally looks fine for a positive non-zero outcome. (I will try to not forget and write on the non-zero outcomes another blog entry)

To be a upright charitable being is to have a amiable of openness to the world, an skill to trust unsure things beyond your own pilot, that can take you to be shattered in very exceptionally circumstances as which you were not to blame. That says something uncommonly weighty thither the condition of the ethical autobiography: that it is based on a trust in the unpredictable and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a spy than like a treasure, something somewhat dainty, but whose extremely special attraction is inseparable from that fragility.
