A 10-year plan for a sustainable culture of peace and justice

Create a Department of Peace with the goal of abolishing WMDs and reducing occupations and interventions to zero over the next decade. Since virtually the entire US government is supportive of militarism, the president should begin a tradition of having at least this one member of her cabinet who is a pacifist, i.e., a person passionately committed to the nonviolent resolution of conflicts. Dennis Kucinich, a champion of the Dept. of Peace, would make an excellent Secretary of Peace.
