Why "Peace Through Waffles"?

Waffles are interesting.  They are almost universally recognized.  Most people don't have too many bad memories involving them.  Most people have eaten enough candy to be sick and remember it, or have been yelled at for eating too much candy or have some bad memory about candy or Halloween.  Waffles though?  who has bad memories about waffles.

So if you need to make peace with someone, bring them a waffle.  Need to apologize to your wife?  Forget the flowers and bring a waffle for her to eat while you convince her you understand.  Save the magic of flowers for the romantic times. 

If we had just dropped waffles on Iraq or they threw waffles at us, would be at war or at peace?  We could alleviate some tension, express our distaste and save ourselves the cost and heartache of war.

So let's do it.  Let's make peace through waffles.
