Since the Presidential election is getting enough attention, I would like to switch my focus this week. According to icasualties.org, the fatalities of US soldiers has now reached 4,018; not to mention our wounded and those killed and wounded from other countries. It seems as though the fighting will never end. Consider the words of Thomas Jefferson:
As to myself, I love peace, and I am anxious that we should give the world still another useful lesson, by showing to them other modes of punishing injuries than by war, which is as much a punishment to the punisher as to the sufferer.
Has history taught us nothing?
