Within the population there had to be those who saw the spiritual malady – the presence of the raw,  insane, ego-driven madness, which gave birth to one of the most horrendous

Despite our knowing, in the depths of our souls, that peace is the right thing, why have world peace organizations failed in their attempts to deal with the insanity of war? Do the pleadings of the anti-war movement not seem eerily similar to those issued by the families of alcoholics, as their loved ones blindly
