This is a both a bad and stupid idea. No war has ever been stopped via “peace.” The bad guys are bad guys because they don’t understand anything other than violence. If this was a legitimate cause it would have been ‘proven’ effective at the state level. There are at least 5 major US cities that are extremely and viscously violent—not a single street gang has been disbanded via this program (re: Ms Green of “the peace alliance”). If you create this department, it’ll be the first step to locking people up for bad attitudes… You might as well call it the department of re-education camps. Like other BS government programs, they’ll target the low hanging fruit like road rage, or complaining about, well, anything. In their minds, calling a bad driver a jerk leads to nuclear war, and because they can’t arrest the dictator of a foreign country the next best thing will be to haul your sorry butt to jail “for attitudes conducive to violence”. These people are stoned out of their minds on idealism. Just say no.

Sorry ABNU,you are just too negative to get it. First, to much of the world, the Bush administration is the bad guys; Americans have been bossy and threatening for a long time. No one will be locked up or sent to re-education camps for bad attitude. People who live in fear cause as many wars as do those who want to conquer for power and wealth. War has been prevalent for millenia but humanity is starting to make a breakthrough toward positive thought and eventually that will bring peace. Want it and speak and act positively; stop the negative thinking. Getting peace is like voting, one voice becomes a multitude.

Let us just continue to grow the Federal Government, shall we? What is the Department of State supposed to do, after this Department is created? If you want peace at all cost, vote for politicians who want peace at all cost. This is the lamest most unclear desire to build bureaucracy.
