This month House
Democrats led by Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) introduced legislation to create a
U.S. Department of Peacebuilding that would serve to "target the root
causes of violence" as well as implement "broad measures used to
prevent violent conflict and create sustainable peace."
The bill, H.R. 808,
the “Department of Peacebuilding Act of 2013”, would charge the new department
with "developing national strategies and programs for violence reduction
both domestically and internationally."
It would be very hard to vote for her.
But any Republican opponent would probably be totally
unacceptable.
