Sultan Knish's 'Prostitution of Peace'

I was impressed by the clarity and succinctness of Sultan Knish's take on the current drive for "peace." Check it out.

If you believe the current regime of diplomats and pundits, peace is something that can be obtained for the right price. Where peace once meant the mutual cessation of war, peace has now become something that can now be bought and sold.

...

We live now in the era of the prostitution of peace. Love doesn't enter into it. Brotherhood doesn't enter into it...No, peace has become something that the brute, the thug and the monster offers to the civilized world in exchange for weapons, power and international stature...

The pimps pander, the prostitutes pose with their weapons and bombs and the tricks put up everything they have certain that this time it will be different. A toast is made. "To peace!" Peace in our time. Peace in no one's time.
