Winning
peace means the triumph of our pledge to establish, on a democratic basis, a new
social framework of tolerance and generosity from which no one will feel excluded.
-- Federico Mayor |
It is a good moment
to repeat that a war is never won. Never mind that history books tell us the opposite.
The psychological and material costs of war are so high that any triumph is a
pyrrhic victory. Only peace can be won and winning peace means not only avoiding
armed conflict but finding ways of eradicating the causes of individual and collective
violence: injustice and oppression, ignorance and poverty, intolerance and discrimination.
We must construct a new set of values and attitudes to replace the culture of
war which, for centuries, has been influencing the course of civilization. Winning
peace means the triumph of our pledge to establish, on a democratic basis, a new
social framework of tolerance and generosity from which no one will feel excluded.

"Peace cannot exist without justice, justice cannot exist without fairness, fairness

parents shared not only an improbable love, they shared an abiding faith in the

"it
is particularly recommended, as a means of uniting the inhabitants of the village

respecting their religious opinions, and not presumptuously suppose that theirs
alone are right.

Owen

intolerant.
