Give Peace a Chance and What Happens ?
Well, according to the invaluable Christian Science Monitor . . . peace.
A three year study shows a steady decline in conflict and casualties resulting from conflict. A forty per cent decline since 1989. Deaths per conflict down from 37,000 in 1950 to 600 in 2002. Credit efforts by the U.N. and other international agencies and the growth of democracy.
So why do we feel like things are getting worse ? If you guessed the MSM's penchant for reporting the worst aand ignoring positive trends, you'd be on the money.
