The Dept of Peace was a major project of a retired UN official I knew in Asia. He was a commimtted liberal.
He claimed to be a Christian yet didn't know if Jesus was God or the Bible was true or not. He reportedly made that right before he passed away this past year.
There was no reasoning with the man. He was rabid, hostile, stern, harsh, perfectionistic in a number of respects and especially about the liberal perspective, priorities, values, goals. He was an engineer by training and had had an important role in the construction of the St Louis Arch.
He has certainly had his perspective adjusted at this point.
I have a name for the department, the ministry of peace.
