[Buddha-l] Peace in a Buddhist monastery?

[JKirkpatrick]

Pretty acute observation there. But I bet the guy has never tried
to live
in a Buddhist monastery :)
The only mass movement going on here right now is in Wisc.--
labor unions. 
The only organisations that here today have any prospects of
united mass demos. 
And they are today so few.

Egyptian revolution
EU couldn't keep peace in a Buddhist monastery
16 February 2011

In the wake of the EU's reaction to the events in Egypt, I can't
help thinking again of President Van Rompuy's recent Warsaw
speech. "Europe is the best guarantee for peace. It was and is a
work of peace." Then, "Europe has to be the fatherland of peace.
We owe this to our history ... The bloody battlefields from our
history have been replaced by Brussels negotiating rooms."
