War is an economic issue. The developed countries spend as much on the military every year as the poorest 2 billion people on earth earn in total income. War is a health issue. Many countries spend three times as much on arms as they do on the health and education of their people, and have twenty times more soldiers than doctors. In 1991, 2.5 million died for lack of immunization for measles, tetanus and whooping cough.
War is a moral issue.
Until we create a culture of peace, until we define limits, until we substitute outrage for compliance, we will not end war.
