“Now, for the moment, we are safe. The only kind of international violence that worries most people in the developed countries is terrorism: from imminent heart attack to a bad case of hangnail in fifteen years flat. We are very lucky people--but we need to use the time we have been granted wisely, because total war is only sleeping. All the major states are still organized for war, and all that is needed for the world to slide back into a nuclear confrontation is a twist of the kaleidoscope that shifts international relations into a new pattern of rival alliances.” PeopleWorldNeedsYearsHeartKindHas BeensStillsWarCountryStatesMomentsUseSleepCasesWorryViolenceNeededLuckySafeMajorsRelationInternationalPatternsTerrorismNuclearGrantedOrganizedFlatsFifteenTwistsRivalsSlidesAlliancesConfrontationInternational RelationsTotal WarFifteen YearsHeart AttackKaleidoscopeDeveloped Country Author:Gwynne Dyer
