“The spirit of man cannot be conquered”

“The spirit of man cannot be conquered”No responsible leader shall state that he will destroy a country or a nation and its people.Hate breeds hate.In a shrinking Global economy, people of the world should and must learn to live in harmony.Every one is entitled to practice their religion and beliefs without interfering with others and/or enforcing their beliefs and customs.Everyone should be treated with respect and dignity.It is time for everyone to open their eyes and realize that conflict and hate will only advance world destruction and the abomination of humanity.I believe that Coexistence means peace and harmony. If we do not achieve peace and harmony soon, we will all perish. It is up to us to change the world and bring peace and harmony to all people."Jay Draiman, Northridge, CA. June 27, 2007PSScience must be learned; it cannot be conquered. An army that can occupy knowledge has yet to be built. And that is why armies of occupation are a thing of the past. Indeed, even for defensive purposes, a country cannot rely on its army alone. Territorial frontiers are no obstacle to ballistic missiles, and no weapon can shield from a nuclear device. Today, therefore the battle for survival must be based on political wisdom and moral vision no less than on military might.Countries used to divide the world into their friends and foes. No longer. The foes now are universal - poverty, famine, religious radicalization, desertification, drugs, proliferation of nuclear weapons, ecological devastation. They threaten all nations, just as science and information are the potential friends of all nations.Classical diplomacy and strategy were aimed at identifying enemies and confronting them. Now they have to identify dangers, global or local, and tackle them before they become disasters.As we part a world of enemies, we enter a world of dangers. And if future wars break out, they will probably be wars of protest, of the weak against the strong, and not wars of occupation, of the strong against the weak.
