Department Of Peace And Non-Violence???

Believe it or not this has been proposed by the Democrats.

A federal cabinet formed for the sole reason of advising any and all sectors of government on approaching issues and incidents in a peaceful and non-violent manner. This cabinet would be responsible for foreign diplomacy as well as domestic agendas. I will not offer my opinion on the absurdity that will be inflicted upon us on the domestic level should this department be implemented. It is a fact that the government cannot control society and only dedicated families formed in the eyes of and directed by the morals of God can do that. More importantly, is the affect this department will have upon our national security.

Some of the goals of the department in relation to foreign policy would be, providing ethics and value based advise to the Department of Defense, advise the Secretary of Defense and State on all national security and human rights issues to include the de-escalation of armed and un-armed conflicts, providing for the creation of a multinational non-violent police force and creating policies regarding the input of media regarding the escalation and de-escalation of conflicts.

Am I the only one who can see how idiotic and dangerous this is?

Our government, for the most part, acts and re-acts in an ethical matter. This is evident in the amount of bureaucracy we face when conducting an armed conflict. Instead of simply destroying the enemy we conduct ourselves as a nation in a manner that defines ethics and thus draws any violent conflict out. As far as a multinational non-violent police force, can someone help explain to me how this is even possible? What happens when someone is naughty in front of the non-violent police force? Nothing would be the appropriate answer. Instead of a police force you now have an observation and reporting force. Finally, the only input we need from the media is where to e-mail the latest government approved conflict update for news distribution. We don't need advise from the media and we sure as hell do not need them embedded with our soldiers to document a possible human rights violation which will assuredly land an American soldier in Leavenworth.

We live in a tough and violent age. We do not seek conflict with others, it is brought against us because of our efforts in spreading freedom to the world. By employing a peaceful and non-violent agenda in any and all issues or incidents we are effectively tying our governments hands in the protection of it's citizens. Some global incidents require a swift and violent reaction not more talk. If we wait, rest assured that more good Americans will die, not just abroad but here at home as well.
