Tierney opts for piece

The new edition of "Peace and Conflict," a biennial global survey being published next week by the University of Maryland, shows that the number and intensity of wars and armed conflicts have fallen once again, continuing a steady 15-year decline that has halved the amount of organized violence around the world.

yeah, mr. tierney, it's nice to point out a piece of uplifting news over the memorial day weekend and, these days, any and all good news is welcome... but the other side of that shiny coin, taking into account the number of armed conflicts the u.s. either has or is engaging in which, coupled with the number it has or is directly or indirectly supporting, starts to look a wee bit corroded to me...
