Tony Campolo: "Francis Fukiyama was wrong; democratic capitalism is not the last great idea of history. The Kingdom of Heaven will be the last great idea of history--The true End of History is Christ."

The Alpha and the Omega.

I don't care if it's an anarchic international system with competitive securtiy interests and unavoidable conflict. I don't care if we live in a Hobbesian state of nature.

There is no peace without justice, and there is no justice without shalom and reconciliation.

End of discussion. There will be no compromise on this definition. Completion of conquest and subjugation will no longer be tolerated as an alternative definition of peace. Yes, I know that's how we did it in America...

But there must be a way for the peoples of the world to still the discord without silencing the discordant voices themselves.
