This is food for thought, received in an email from WyoWoman, who received it from a friend. I think it is something along the lines of what I'd hoped the Dalia Lama might say:
NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release ARMY GENERALS OFFER PRESIDENT BUSH ALTERNATIVE TO MISSILE DEFENSE SHIELD
Top-Ranking Military Leader from India Proposes "Vedic Defense Shield" for Prevention of War
- NEWS CONFERENCE-
Major General Kulwant Singh

"Military and diplomatic solutions will never produce lasting peace while enmity seethes in the hearts of the people. The persistent crisis in the Middle East alone proves the inadequacy of paper treaties, and underscores the need for a fundamentally new approach."
-Major General Kulwant Singh
(WASHINGTON, D.C.) A top-ranking army general, who helped lead the fight against terrorism in India for nearly three decades, is coming to Washington, D.C. next week to offer President Bush an effective alternative to his National Missile Defense Shield.
Major General Kulwant Singh, a 35-year career army veteran, backed by a growing number of top military leaders worldwide, will encourage President Bush and other world leaders to immediately deploy "Vedic technologies of defense"-a scientifically proven approach that diffuses regional tensions and prevents conflict.
"President Bush should be commended for his efforts to defend the American people from nuclear attack," General Singh said. "There are critics who argue that the missile shield is untested, costly, and provides no >defense against warheads smuggled in by land or sea. But the President is deploying the most advanced technology he knows. To his critics, I say, >'Show the President a better way.' "Fortunately, now there is a better way. This is why we have come to Washington." Vedic Technologies of Defense Diffuse Acute Social Stress "America and India are great allies. We are bringing to President Bush the best of what India has to offer-the very latest technology in the field of defense," said General Singh. "Research confirms that the outbreak of war begins with rising tensions among rival factions. Conventional means of defense do nothing to address this underlying cause of war: mounting tensions in critical hotspots throughout the world.
"We are offering a proven, prevention-oriented approach, based on Vedic technologies of consciousness, to diffuse acute social stress-and thereby prevent enmity from arising. "Ours is the only new approach with a proven track record-an approach that is backed by extensive published research," General Singh said. How Vedic Defense Works Recent discoveries in the domain of quantum physics and human consciousness, according to General Singh, reveal that the field of consciousness is far more basic and powerful than the nuclear field. "This field of consciousness-termed the unified field in the language of quantum physics-is millions of times more fundamental and powerful than the nuclear force. "We have learned to harness this field through technologies of consciousness that are simultaneously ancient and modern. They are described in the ancient Vedic literature, but they have now become the focus of extensive scientific research. Their application was introduced 25 years ago by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who advocated group practice of Transcendental Meditation and its advanced techniques, including Yogic Flying. To this, Maharishi has added other highly advanced peace-promoting procedures from the Vedic tradition," General Singh said.
More than 50 studies, published in leading peer-reviewed scientific journals, have documented the ability of group practice of Transcendental Meditation and its advanced techniques to reduce societal stress and >violence, and to calm open warfare in war-torn areas. In the mid-1980s this approach was used to quell violence in the Middle East, and resulted in an 80% drop in war fatalities and war-related injuries, according to articles published in the Journal of Conflict Resolution and other scientific publications. Deploying a Vedic Defense Shield in India More than 25,000 meditating experts are now being assembled in India who, General Singh said, will produce an "indomitable influence of peace and coherence in the country. No nation will ever be moved to attack India, as it becomes a lighthouse of peace and coherence to its neighbors and the world. "What better, more humane and cost-effective defense than to prevent the birth of an enemy? Isn't this more likely to prevent an attack than a new arms race that is generating such global fear and heightened hostility towards the US that it might actually provoke a terrorist attack?"
US Department of Peace
General Singh applauded the efforts of members of the US Congress, led by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), to counter this new military escalation with a US Department of Peace, funded at 1% of the military budget. "Such a department could easily support, even within the ranks of the military, a 'prevention wing' of 10,000 - 20,000 troops trained in Vedic technologies of defense that can prevent the outbreak of war. This should be the true purpose of the military: To keep the peace. Unfortunately, nothing in the current military handbooks trains our soldiers to prevent war. "That is why it is critical now to implement a prevention wing in the military utilizing these proven Vedic technologies of defense," said General Singh, who retired from the military in 1995, and is now Defense Minister of the Global Country of World Peace-a nation without borders founded to "provide a global home for peace-loving people everywhere," and to offer governments "proven, prevention-oriented solutions to critical social problems." General Singh's Itinerary in Washington >General Singh said he is coming to Washington, D.C. to "present to President Bush, and representatives of other peace-loving countries, how to promote invincibility for every nation and permanent world peace by taking recourse to the higher intelligence of Natural Law, which governs the universe with perfect order."
