Some observers, in fact, believe that it cannot be...[allowed to disappear] at all in our time; that the price of peace is, simply, too high.
It is uncertain, at this time, whether peace will phone number list ever be possible... [However], it is possible that one or more major sovereign nations may arrive, through ambiguous leadership, at a position in which a ruling administrative class may lose control of basic public opinion or of its ability to rationalize a desired war... As our report made clear, this could be catastrophic.”
How high is the price of peace? It would seem to cost the citizens nothing, but the “ruling administrative class” could lose everything they have “worked” so hard for. Perhaps in recognition of that, the elite are not yet prepared for peace and need more time for such a transition. The talking heads are already calling this war on terrorism the “Hundred Years War.”
“It seems evident that, in the event an important part of the world is suddenly plunged without sufficient warning into an inadvertent peace, even partial and inadequate preparation for the possibility may be better than none.”
