American maximum card with Bart Simpson saying "Peace, man.". Walt Disney discovered long ago that drawing 4 fingers is faster than drawing 5. Bart's 2 fingers for the Victory sign are stubby and chubby enough for me to say that they also form a heart shape

Bart Simpson, from the beloved animated TV sitcom "The Simpsons".

The problem with peace is that you cannot just wish to have it.
How can you have peace, when your enemy wants a piece [of you]?
Many times, the only way to keep the peace is to ENFORCE it.
Or to seriously threaten to enforce it.
And when necessary, demonstrate that you were not joking.
"I told you so!"

Si vis pacem, para bellum...
If you want peace, prepare for war...- Latin proverb.

  1. Bart Simpson has always had the ability to convey a lot of meaning with those four chubby fingers.

    The Latin proverb is very true.

  4. You're right ... his fingers are chubby enough that his peace sign is a heart!

    Don't you wish the world could have peace through wishing? I sure do. Unfortunately you are right ... sometimes the only way to have peace is to be strong enough that just the threat of enforcement is enough to make it happen. Sigh.
