I won't give your post an unqualified dismissal or rebuttal; I agree to 
some small degree.  The problem, I think, is that peace, love, and 
understanding are futile in World Politics, which itself is a religion 
of war, hate, and ignorance, while those who truly believe in peace, 
love, and understanding have no use for World Politics.  After all, 
whether we all die from anthrax or from excessive love making, we still 
die.  Some of us will die fighting for invisible, unsubstantial 
political systems, and some of us will die loving each other and being 
loved.

Very fluffy and cute, right?   I'd rather live fluffy and cute and enjoy 
my life than be cynical and angry and die anyway.

Brendan
