The peacewreckers gather

Word has spread that radical

Right Wing opposition to the

worldwide consensus embodied

in the arms accord with Iran,

just assured yesterday of su-

perfluous passage through a

gauntlet in the American Con-

gress, is regrouping predic-

tably in many murky corners,

to say nothing of the usual

NASCAR grandstand habituated

by Republicans. 

What could be more uplifting

proof of this long-sought vin-

dication of worldwide hope,

than the company which renoun-

ces it? By all means, vigil-

ance against these ostenta-

tious patriots, of one place

or another, simply remains a

part of any gentler regime.

Something about the gift to

be simple.

Now, as hysterics in Jerusalem

and Washington flog the Ameri-

can people to betray this ac-

cord as fully and as fast as

possible, and sharpen daggers

endlessly behind their gaudy

arras, humanity's honest watch

requires its own escalations,

in earnest outreach to peace-

ful institutions everywhere.

If this means diverting phil-

anthropies and investments

from their decadent ruts, the

road itself rewards the trek.
