When the Founders jigsawed our country together they wanted to make sure we wouldn’t become ruled by the Military Industrial Complex.

We May live in a world of danger, much of it created by our policies, but wouldn’t it e better to have a Dept of Peace somewhere, anywhere that would take these issues on from a different perspective? We certainly have the resources to manage 2 depts at once I think. Ans there is no dearth of thinking about Peace.
