	Intercontinental Peace Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Intercontinental Peace Bridge is a proposed/envisioned bridge spanning the Bering Strait between Cape Dezhnev, Siberia, Russia, and Cape Prince of Wales, Alaska.
		Although the longest bridge of the three could be in excess of 40 km (25 miles) — compare to the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway, comprised of two segments of 23.86 and 23.87 miles each — such a bridge would provide an overland connection linking Asia, Africa and Europe with North America and South America.
		International bridges and tunnels have in Europe been paid by loans and road fees only, since there is a political principle that international travel should not be paid by tax payers.

		A 1998 peace catechism from the Latin Patriarchate, drafted under his supervision, laid out in some detail a Palestinian Catholic perspective on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the relation of justice to peace, and the place of non-violence in the Palestinians' struggle for a homeland of their own.
		Peace for the sake of peace is not worthy of pursuit unless peace can be founded on principles of justice and adherence to basic norms of human rights.
		The Spiritual Runners of the Peace and Dignity Journeys have traversed the entire continent of North, Central, and South America three times since 1992 in fulfillment of a traditional mandate of the indigenous nations, known as the Confederation of the Eagle and the Condor.

		The Bering Strait could be spanned by a series of 3 bridges via the Diomede Islands for a total distance of approximately 50 miles.
		Lin's proposal for the Intercontinental Peace Bridge would have to wait until 1990 when the Cold War was ending and the possibility of a cooperative project linking the East with the West seemed more real.
		Indeed, the concept of a Bering Bridge being a railway bridge as opposed to an automobile bridge seems to be gaining more support in recent times, although serious proposals have yet to be considered.

	11.18.2003 - T.Y. Lin, world renowned structural engineer, dies at age 91
		He called the proposed structure the "Intercontinental Peace Bridge" because he saw the span as a critical link that could foster better relations between the United States and Russia.
		For Lin, bridges had become the tangible symbol of his desire to not only connect two bodies of land, but to span cultures and politics.
		The idea of building bridges to Pudong and redeveloping the region eventually won favor with city and national officials, including former Chinese President Jiang Zemin, who was mayor of Shanghai when Lin worked with him.

	Bridge Tunnel
		The Peace Bridge is typical of Lin's designs: At first glance they fly in the face of logic, but eventually they fly.
		The first is quick assembly, the top priority for county bridge authorities that need to knit together communities isolated after their small bridges have been swept away by storms.
		Because the bridge curves as it inclines, French architect Marc Mimram needed to use a 3D computer model to get the angles right and estimate the wind and traffic loads to which it would be exposed.

		His passion was bridges, and to make them better he used prestressed concrete, which uses embedded high-tension steel cables to allow more economical and better-looking building techniques.
		His ideas spread when he turned to teaching: he was a professor at the University of California in Berkeley from 1946 to 1976 -- his alma mater (he got a graduate degree there in 1933).
		When President Ronald Reagan presented Lin the National Medal of Science in 1986, he shocked the President by presenting him with a design for an "Intercontinental Peace Bridge" across the Bering Strait, linking the U.S. with the USSR.

		Others subscribe to Churchill’s assertion ‘Peace is the sturdy child of terror.’ For me, such a peace is a wretched offspring, a peace that condemns us to live under a dark cloud of perpetual anxiety, a peace that codifies mankind’s most murderous instincts….The beast must be chained, its soul expunged, its lair laid waste.
		To that end the United States is now engaged in a serious and sustained effort to negotiate major reductions in levels of offensive nuclear weapons with the ultimate goal of eliminating these weapons from the face of the earth.
		We must not only control the weapons that can kill us, we must bridge the great disparities of wealth and opportunity among the peoples of the world, the vast majority of whom live in poverty without hope, opportunity or choices in life.

		By the end of this seminar, we expect attendees to leave with enough information and challenge to return to their homes and churches and to prayerfully consider what role Christ wants them to play in being peacemakers in a region known for its lack of peace.

	Revisionism and the Promotion of Peace
		It was partly responsible for increasing the restraint imposed on France at the time of the Ruhr invasion for the mitigation of the harsh reparations system, for the Nye investigation of the armament industry and its nefarious ramifications, and for our neutrality legislation.
		The essence of the situation is that no matter how many Revisionist books are produced, how high their quality, or how sensational their revelations, they will have no effect on the American public until this public learns of the existence, nature and importance of Revisionist literature.
		In an age of hydrogen bombs, intercontinental guided missiles, terrifyingly lethal chemical and bacterial warfare, and pushbutton military technology, we shall have to do better than the publics of Hegel's time if we are to have any prospect of survival or of attaining such a degree of peace, security, and well-being as would justify survival.
