Begetting War

A warship built with steel salvaged from the World Trade Center has been put into service in New York. Hundreds of US Navy officers and sailors and also families of 9/11 victims attended the commissioning of the USS New York in Manhattan.

Perhaps the most famous prophesy from the Torah is that in the end we will beat our weapons of war into plow shears to help feed the hungry–obviously that has not yet happened.

The revenge of violence begets more violence as noted in the Talmud-Book of Law when Shami stood on the shore of a river and saw a skull floating on the surface; he said to the skull: you drown because you had drown another and in the end he who drown you will also be drown.

America conceived out of violent revolution is proud of her war machine, but does violence make us free? The Torah proclaims all the ways of Torah are peace, yet there is violence all through the Torah.

The Cabala explains the process of rectifying the previous world of Tohu/Chaos is through war, but in the end new souls full of compassion will be sent to the earth at the culmination of these 6000 years–presently we stand at 5770.

Shalom/Peace also has the meaning of whole as it says in the Torah without peace life is incomplete.
