Dollar Diplomacy And Atomic Power - Have Both Failed

1. My suburban neighborhood is surrounded by violence. So is yours. 
2. For over 50 years Americans have been trapped in wars that can not be won. (Korea, Viet Nam, Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and Pakistan.)
3. Lethal violence and war have become normal.  
4. Does this killing and destruction have to continue forever? 

When the atom bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, wasn't it a clear signal that civilization would end if this technology was mis-used? Didn't we take the hint that our flawed concept of diplomacy was no longer effective, and that overwhelming atomic power would not protect us from each other? 

Are we not failing to find other solutions more compatible with human beings?

Let's get our priorities right. As we address problems, let's begin with emphasis on the big ones.  For example; 

Eliminating starvation on the planet 

and preventing another war are the most important - 

and we know it !.
