Dear friends in GHA.   For those who are informed about the global reach and 
designs of the superpower, the single mention of the Pentagon is very 
appropriate.  One cannot pursue, study, or establish peace if one is not clear 
about the facts.  And the fact is that the single greatest destroyer of peace 
in the world today is the U.S. and the Pentagon.  This is the view of all the 
best scholars who are not propaganda stooges for the empire.  I highly 
recommend all of the following documented and informed studies if we are to get 
clear about why the Pentagon should be mentioned in any informed peace document:
 
     Noam Chomsky, Hegemony or Survival: America?s Quest for Global Dominance.
      F. William Engdahl, Full Spectrum Dominance: Totalitarian Democracy in 
the New World Order.
      Pepe Escobar, Globalistan: How the Globalized World is Dissolving into 
Liquid War.
      Greg Grandin, Empire?s Workshop: Latin American, the United States, and 
the Rise of the New Imperialism.
      Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri,  Empire.
      Michael Parenti, The Face of Imperialism.
      James Petras and Henry Veltmeyer, Empire with Imperialism: The 
Globalizing Dynamics of Neo-liberal Capitalism.
      John Perkins, The Secret History of the American Empire.
      Nick Turse, The Changing Face of Empire: Special Ops, Drones, Spies, 
Proxy Fighters, Secret Bases, and Cyberwarfare.
 
IF anyone finishes these books and still thinks that the U.S. drive to global 
empire is not the central problem that must be mentioned in all discussions 
about the way to peace, there are many more such books, by top scholars, that I 
can also recommend.
 
In peace and hope,
 
Glen Martin

-------- Original Message --------I agree to the contents of this work except 
one thing that I would suggest to alter.  The Pentagon is not the only place in 
which a lot of money and thought are invested to the developing of war theories 
and sophisticated arsenals.  There are a lot of places like this in other 
countries, the only difference is that the Pentagon is more open to public 
knowledge and sometimes even free press pressures that influence it. To mention 
only the American Pentagon would be prejudiced and form a kind of anti American 
propaganda. I would suggest the title - major institutes  etc.. and to look at 
other places too. The mentioning only of the Pentagon is wrong in my opinion. 
If you continue like this it would seem as an anti American book. 

2, I hope that in the chapters on social economic problems, you really get into 
the obstacles to peace and also thoughts how to deal with them, or the major 
ideas how to approach such problems. Without paying attention to such 
obstacles, and to the augmenting terror of poor countries around the world - 
which I think you do mention- it would be difficult to propagate ideas of 
peace.  If those two will be  thought about  I'm completely for this book, and 
its a joy such a work would be published and distributed
