I am heartened to hear that the US and Russia have reached an agreement that if honored by Syria will mean that there will not be an escalation of war involving US military service personnel.  President Obama has been walking on a tightrope and using the might of the US forces as well as his leadership skills in order to come to a diplomatic agreement.  I believe that less people will be in harms way because of this mature diplomacy.  My hope is that the world's peoples will come to know, believe and experience the fact that peace is not just a concept, but is a way of life that can be attained for all humanity.
