Is Global Peace Possible?

I hope that you enjoy reading this post on the weekly Friday Loose Bloggers Consortium where six of us write on the same topic. Today’s topic was chosen by me. The five other bloggers who write regularly are, in alphabetical order, gaelikaaMaxi, Paul, Shackman, and The Old Fossil. Do drop in on their blogs and see what their take is on this week’s topic. Since some of them may post late, do give some allowance for that too!

There is just too much investment in the arms and ammunition industry, for peace to ever visit our planet.  The military, industrial, political interconnectedness will ensure that we will always have strife of some sort in many parts of the world.

In my own backyard, I do not foresee peace in my life time, and for that matter, in my son’s life time either.  I am not cynical.  I am just being realistic.
