Given fallen humanity's track record, it seems that if and when universal peace arrives, it will be because every government learns the futility of unjust aggression.  The only thing that can teach this is hard reality, not pie-in-the-sky wishful thinking.  The proposal to outlaw war is a perfect example of the latter.  In fact, it puts those who seriously hunger for peace in company with silly kooks.  How is the ban on war to be enforced against a war-maker?  Does anyone think for a moment that if the U.N. were to pass a resolution specifically outlawing the killing by ISIS, ISIS would suddenly stop killing?  What if in 1938, the legislation proposed by David Cochran had been enacted --- enacted by what body, by the way? --- and all the world's nations had not only voted for it, but to show good faith, had lain down their arms?  Does anyone think that would have stopped Hitler?  Or any lesser evil?  Get serious about peace, and one day we may have it.
