Our terrorist adversaries seem to be men of few words, little diplomacy, and even less felt need to bond with us. It’s true they don’t think highly of women, so Obama might fare better than Rodham-Clinton. But I wonder how Barack–assuming he’s not another god, despite the recent comments of some followers–plans to change their jihadist minds and convince them to turn from bombing to bonding with us infidels? He really hasn’t said yet, so I have to surmise.

Maybe offering our Islamic brethren some shared leadership would help. But then, all our homosexuals might have to be sacrificed, and our heterosexual women made to cover their heads. I’m not sure Michelle would bow to that demand, or be proud for the second time in her adult life of her country. Perhaps a Republican-controlled Congress could work those issues out so as not to thwart the President’s peace plan.

And, speaking of ‘fidels, I’m sure the new Castro is anxious to make amends too. Maybe a planes-for-plantains deal could be struck to decrease our “democracy-through-war” plague of excessive-aggressive inventory. Black-banana looking fruit would strike a much more conciliatory look, after all.

Giving Citgo a gasoline monopoly could bring Hugo around to showing his true self, also. That spark of divinity Lewis refers to is obviously in Chavez–he did recognize the devil in Bush, after all! Oh, but Barack has similar pointy ears, so I don’t know.

Finally, a President Obama could always point out to our adversaries that he will continue doing his part to ensure that our population growth stays contained by making the right to an abortion the most-, if not last, protected liberty we loving, compassionate-hearted, peaceful Americans enjoy.

Now, go enjoy your rally for what might be your last opportunity to vote in a presidential election.

And, oh, wow, a debate over Sherman.

Sherman’s peace-by-any-means-necessary attitude could perhaps be considered a predecessor to the modern-day neoconservative “peace-through-democracy” and “democracy-through war” mindset that has plagued our current Administration.

Well, you aren’t online right now, so I abandon hope of a back-and-forth. I give all my thoughts right now.

Sherman believed that there was a difference between making peace and practicing peace. In Sherman’s opinion, sometimes the practice of war amounted to the making of peace.

From Sherman to the citizens of Atlanta on the eve of an infamous conflagration: “I want peace, and believe it can only be reached through union and war, and I will ever conduct war with a view to perfect an early success.”

Do you believe that history has proven Sherman wrong?

It is interesting, don’t you think, that among the most significant aspects of the “peace” that Rep. John Lewis receives from the hand of others is that won by the incredibly effective peacemaking efforts of George Tecumseh Sherman.
