The above is just for the index page. Sorry, I didn't finish reading your
request.

Now, for the peaceprintable page, you have an open p tag prior to your top
table, which is not closed, resulting in illegal tags within the p.

And, on the peace2 page, the p tag you have prior to the links "previous
page", "discuss this article" (towards the bottom of your page), should not
be there or should be closed. Since it's still open, it is pulling up errors
for elements that are not legal within the p.
