On the other hand, as mention by another poster earlier, he is contemplating sending more military force to Afghanistan. This is troubling from a peacemaking perspective. I know the argument is more forces will get the job done and get us out more quickly. However, it seems kind of backward to me. More force = peace.

Let us keep the cause of peace for the good of all alive.
