The 26th Kateri Peace Conference held in Fonda, NY in mid-September, 2024 was entitled “What’s Love Got to do with it?” The outcome of peace activism is the end of always-war. If, indeed, we are all connected on this minuscule green spot in a vast universe – if we are sisters and brothers who care for each other – why do we choose to kill each other in horrific and massive ways?
Bar Crawl Radio hosts — Rebecca McKean and Alan Winson — moderated the Friday evening panel with Ann Wright, Brian Terrell, Brad Wolf, and Vera Anderson.
The panel focused on three basic questions:
Why do we consistently choose war?
How do wars start? Are the causes really that complex? Are the causes of war knowable?
If we know the root causes of war — Can we come up with policies that would end war-making?
