I saw that meme. I thought about wishing for peace. I do wish for peace. But the peace I wish for isn't 'Americans not fighting wars'. It's real peace. It's not something even remotely achievable right now. Even if America sits and does peaceful things instead of fighting... that doesn't mean there's peace in the world. It just means America doesn't have to feel guilty about war.
So I didn't post a wish for peace. Because given the timing, what that meme means is 'I wish America wouldn't go to war.' and I don't think that's the right definition of peace.
