But what if all of that stopped, say, for an afternoon. Let's say for one enchanted afternoon the coming together REALLY WAS a "coming together" and the religious fanatics and war mongrels were bared at the door and ordinary people got a chance to really communicate with each other. Probably there would be much empathy and sorrow that so much time had been wasted by the righteous hate machines.

There used to be a chant that said, "Give Peace a Chance." Let's start another one that says, "Give Diplomacy a Chance."

But diplomacy with who? You name it. With ANYONE! With so called terrorists. With the Iranians -- God knows, DEFINITELY with the Iranians. Imagine a world in which diplomacy blossomed here and there like roses. Not just the Israeli/Palestinians (since its unfair to single out this one region) but with the multiple national/international groups which are at each other's throats.

Could all this happen? Really, really, could all this authentic mutual communication really take place? Of course, in a heartbeat.

So why aren't we doing it? May I repeat that question? Why aren't we doing it?

How simple and tragic is the answer. Diplomacy has been banished in the 3rd millennia by the international vampire elites. It's not happening in America, for example, because America is a textbook Dictatorship of the Rich, and the main way astronomically rich people BECOME astronomically rich people and STAY astronomically rich people is by inventing pseudo war after pseudo war after pseudo war.

Very, very rich people have always been the black heart of Civilization-destroying wars. Look at Iraq. Billions and billions of dollars are being skimmed off by Cheney type oil companies along with literally hundreds of different multi millionaire and multi billionaire scams. These scams are robbing the Iraqis just as much as they are robbing American taxpayers (and that certainly doesn't include the elites!).

Said point blank: The Bush Iraq Oil War is a cash cow for vampire elites. The same will be true for Iran and it is already true for Afghanistan. Daddy Warbucks indeed!

Hence, the "Have's" fear diplomacy above all else, because they know if human beings are simply human beings together, they will quickly work out who are the peasants and who are their Greek God-like elite masters.
