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:

  1. Why do we consistently choose war?
  2. How do wars start? Are the causes really that complex? Are the causes of war knowable?
  3. If we know the root causes of war — Can we come up with policies that would end war-making?
