We Can End War"There's something more powerful than all the armies in the world and that's an idea whose time has come." - Victor Hugo
What we need is a bold, unifying vision. Victor Hugo's famous quote stresses the great power of ideas over armies. This website is dedicated to one such idea whose time has come: We can, within two generations from the time we officially resolve to do it, create a future in which was is not only unacceptable, it's abhorrent and obsolete. |
