Not to repeat myself, or anything....but there are scores of heavy tomes analyzing the craft of making war, from the ancient Chinese to Klausewitz and beyond.

Where are the manuals for "making" peace? The goal of making peace is to bring about...what? An absence of violence between humans? An absence of enmity? A world free of insanity? These are some starry goals, no mistake, and we are WAY behind the curve in even naming the steps to get there, let alone evolving the technology.

Part of th eproblem is that while war is the deployment of mechanics meant to tear down things (like bodies) in order to change minds, ultimately, peace is different. It is the deployment of minds in order to create and improve things (and the well-being of bodies).

Deploying minds, aiming them, taking advantage of their natures to accomplish the goals of peace is in some ways a much greater challene than deploying battleships and jets to accomplish the goals of war.

More I think about this, the bigger the budget such a Cabinet would need to command seems to get. We really have postponed this long enough!
