War Is Over, If You Want It

Via Renee at the Village Gate, today has been the International Day of Peace. Perhaps that's why our office servers went down for an hour about noontime, maybe they were observing the Global Minute of Silence and they got carried away. The UN celebrated by ringing the Peace Bell (attending the ceremonies were UN Messengers of Peace Mohammed Ali, Jane Goodall and Anna Cataldi), at the opening of the General Assembly's 59th session, immediately followed by a speech from one of the world's currently most egregious warmongers. Just to wash that one out of your brain, here's your IDP bedtime story, in English, Dutch, Hebrew and Spanish. (Dutch?) My favorite line is the third one, particularly the first three words.
