And just how will a Department of Peace stop terrorists? Will they be in the middle of planning an attack, be told that the United States has a Department of Peace, and decide to devote their lives to saving the rainforest?

And precicely what would a Department of Peace do? Specifics please.

This is just the same old far-left pot-induced symbolic crap that is always thrown out. "Hey man, what if- what if we had, like, instead of a War Department, a PEACE Department!"

"Woah..." :roll:

I can just imagine middle schoolers in the 26th century laughing about how stupid the country that decided to establish a Department of Peace was.

Well the phrase "Department of Defense" is Orwellian in the first place. I always liked the far more honest "War Department".

Why, spread the message of peace, and round up all the unpatriotic troublemakers who send the message that war is good, of course. :)

Have a very nice day.

"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

Yes, because Peace is War, and War is Peace.

This is just Kucinich's thinly veild way of saying "If the US disbanded its armed forces, then all the other countries would follow our shining example, and all the people on Earth would peacefully join hands in singing 'Kum-Bay-Yah'..." :roll:
