all we are asking is to give peace a chance
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Those who remember John and Yoko Lennon chanting this implausible nostrum, about the prospects for peace, will see the absurdity of the notion when they read this book. As long as man has existed there have been those among us who ascribe to power and dominion over all. The only way to staunch their ardor is to be ready to fight them. This is the cost of sustaining individual liberty, the touchstone of western civilization. Think of it as facing the bully down so he doesn't take your lunch money. Any other prospects for a solution other than this readiness to do combat fly in the face of all human history and common sense. This book will disabuse those who harbor these fantasies of the peacenik.
