War = Defeat

I don’t usually link to articles not specifically related to yoga and you may initially think this is such an article but if you think about it, yoga = peace.
What the anti-war community needs to do is convince the majority of Americans that simply being forced to engage in a war—any war—is a defeat. One need not count bodies or measure areas of land occupied by troops to determine “victory”. The fact that the U.S. is forced to expend lives and treasure in violent conflict with others should be viewed as a failure—a failure of American ideology or policy or diplomacy or execution. If the U.S. were really doing everything the right way, we would not need to engage in military action against others—at least we would not be the ones initiating that action. Acts of violence are more likely to cause problems than to solve them, in addition to being far more costly than any other means of resolving a problem.
The article is simply titled, Peace.
