International Day of Peace

Today, September 21, has been declared "International Peace Day" by the UN. Here is a link to the website. There is great info about how Afganistan is marking the day. I find it interesting that Afganistan is noting the day yet we hear almost nothing about it in the US. I didn't know about it until I heard a story on NPR last week. Why are we so isolated from the rest of the world?

Why, indeed? Kind of makes you think our leadership doesn't care much about peace.

That explaines our leadership, but what's wrong with the press?
