Transition to Peace

<p>World peace may seem like an impossible dream. Not only is it counter to human nature but there are also many political economic and cultural obstacles to overcome. In <i>Transition to Peace>/i> author Russell Faure-Brac contends war is not a necessary evil; there are more effective and rational ways for the United States to defend itself.</p><p>In this analysis Faure-Brac examines where world peace stands now and how it relates to the rapidly changing world. He combines the nonviolent power of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King; the concept of Peaceful Warriorship as found in the martial arts of Aikido and Ninjutsu; and the Permaculture ideas of Earth Care People Care and Faire Share to form the basis for peace programs and three peace principles that he proposes as a new national security policy. Faure-Brac then lays out a plan for making the changes.</p><p>Though world peace might be a challenging prospect <i>Transition to Peace</i> shows that is possible to achieve it and the United States can lead the rest of the world in the right direction.</p>
