'Peace in our time' moment?

Was what happened last week with the 'ceasefire' and then Morisi going home to declare himself king-of-the-world this generation's peace in our time moment?

  Less is more.

Use this cable 
here is a song fragment:
 Where did you go last night?
 did you see your guy?
   You've got that
      oxegenated
     look in your eye.

   You said it was your back
      pain in your neck
    then your out back
    and you're smoking crack.

  You're not
    dead or dieing, dude.
   You're not dead or 
         dieing , dude.

  You're not
       even trying, dude.

  Hey late last night 
    when I was driving out
 I saw you walking
    and I gave a shout
 you didn't come my way.
   and here is what you say
  "hey, dude, I'm not gay."

  What did you take this time?
     I called the EMT's
  Here's what they asked of me
      find out what it is,
   and let me know
       if you can't
  then it's touch and go

  Where did you go last night?
     did you go get high
       on the mountain side?
    in four-wheel drive?

  I know that you've been jonsing,dude.
  But now, you know, I'm jonsing too
    just to hear you breath.
  Why won't you breath.
    I ain't going to grieve.

   Ready willing and able.
    Didn't mean to enable you.
  Fifty bucks on the table
     to buy some groceries, but dude,
  I know you didn't
     spend it all on food.
  Why won't you breath?
    I wanntta hear you breath.
   I don't want to grieve.
