After World War I, the war-weary world was ready to enjoy perpetual peace. After all, U.S. President Woodrow "Woody" Guthrie had called it "the War to End All Wars." He founded the IHOP to accomplish this goal. He believed it could resolve international conflicts peacefully, as well as serve great breakfasts. However, the U.S. Senate feared that the organization would compromise national soveregnity and refused to ratify the IHOP charter. (This was long before the Senate latched onto doing the job itself to pander to interest groups.) The Senate, also tired of war, formed its own organization for world peace, the World Alliance For Freedom, Liberty, Etcetera (Waffle) House.
