The period from 1945 to 1991 seems like long ago
-but compared with many possible pasts it is recent.
For many in the most developed countries it was a time
of unparalleled wealth, peace, and social diversity,
which promised the offer of much more to come.
But with the end of the cold war
the reverse has become the norm
-more victims of more wars
than we know how to count.
The period from 1991 - 2025 has, so far,
disestablished the relative peace
that went before it more profoundly
than anyone could have predicted,
bringing the world back to the question
Which do we want most? A deceptive peace?
Or a more brutal, but honestly fought, war?
and who should it be fought against?
