What do we need to do as citizens of the US to get peace in the world and stop war?

Write letters.  Your representatives will start listening if they get enough letters and emails.

No, we certainly don't have the answers to improve the world. We need to start right here in our own country & elect better leaders & try to get America back on track. How are we going to build an Iraqu government when we can't even take care of our own problems?

I'd start with a compelling quote from the Declaration of Independence.  I'd describe the rights and responsibilities of citizenship.  You might want to include some statistics from the Census Bureau and maybe figure out how many people living in the US are citizens.  The links below may get you started.\n-MM

We can sacrifice our time and energy to become more politically involved and become more informed. As citizens, we have political power but many of us do not use it. If you want to end our involvement there, then communicate with your representative. If your representatives do not act, then next time don't vote for them or start protesting.\n\nOtherwise, we can sacrifice our freedom and join the military. The military needs more boots on the ground; it also needs highly intelligent people who are skilled in various work. People knowing a foreign language and experts in other cultures are desperately needed by both the military and the intelligence agencies. This conflict is not so much a physical fight as it is a battle of information.\n\nTo help the troops, what we need to do is again, become informed. That means doing your own research, asking questions (ask those who are actually doing the fighting if you can), then taking action to get the troops what they need. Send care packages filled with goodies that they ask for. Help their families. Fight the bureaucracy if you find out that a certain policy isn't right. Start campaigns to fund money or get politicians to help procure certain equipment for the troops. The possibilities are endless.

1. Protect the US first. Cover the borders and ports to deny entry to those who intend to do us harm, and materials which can be used to harm us within the framework of the law.\n\nIt's not that simple, you don't necessarily know who's going to 'do you harm' and don't want to unfairly discriminate against innocent people.\n\n2. Identify and rebuild co-operation and trust with countries and groups who abhor terrorism and the taking of innocent life.\n\nI agree.\n\n3. Build information databases on known terrorists, and those who aid them.\n\nI believe that's already being done.\n\n4. Share that information with those who we reasonably feel abide by international law, and invite them to add information or dispute information they feel is wrong.\n\nYeah, could do. Do countries not do that already? Most countries would not be of any help in the matter.\n\n5. Make binding agreements with them to act jointly or independently as necessary on information we both agree is correct.\n\nOk, but in what way would you 'act'? All known terrorists are monitored and there is a little a country where the terrorist is not residing can do.

TO your first question, write to your congress person and senator.  Also talk to as many people as you can and encourage them to do the same.  Constitutionally, only COngress can declare war.  The Bush adminstration blindsided congress, ignored UN, went ahead to "enforce" UN resolution without UN's approval.  Congress now recognizes that to be the case, but they will need to be reminded.  Therefore, write, and get as many people to write to remind them of their duties to put Presidential power in check.\n\nTO your second question, the result of another US unilateral attack will be \n1. many death\n2. more terrorist attacks in countries with Muslim population, and\n3. terrorist incidents in the US\nfor several generation to follow.

How can we make peace permanent instead of a space between wars?

Get the help of the UN. The UN has had many ideas for Iraq but our US government wanted to go it alone and we did. Now we are not only stuck with the mess we have paid out BILLIONS for the war.\nWhen does it stop?\nMaybe we should secure their borders to keep the terrorists out so they can rebuild their governement and cites and infastructure. We can commit to one year and then they are on their own. If they know we will not continue to throw money at their cause and that we expect them to work out their own problems and rebuilding effort they will work much faster. As it is now they dont really care the US will pay pay pay (with military and money).\n\nPut it back on their shoulders to get the job done.

I really don't have an answer to your question, but I think we could go along way toward world peace by disbanding the military and just building a purely defensive force. We could protect our borders better if we concentrated our resources on protection of our own country. Things like happened on 9/11 would not be able to happen. I also think that the money saved would be better spent on the American people in need. Health care being one of my biggest issues. That being said there are to many greedy repuglicans in this country to ever happen, but it is my dream world.

Not only the citizens of these two countries, rather the whole  world community must create pressure socially,  politically and diplomatically on both US & Iran to be tolerant & keep themselves away from any violence with mutual respect to each other. \nPeople across the world are more powerful than the war mongers, because its always the people who make history & shape the civilization. \nIts needless to mention that, many a times  the key individuals/groups steering the government, go against the people and take decissions in their won way of doing things, which is neither desirable nor acceptable, not only to the peolple who elected them, but also to the total mankind. \nCivil socities, intellectuals, professionals, human rights groups with the common people and medias, therefore, can definitely play the most important role by presenting their thoughts & views in any crisis that threatens human civilization and world peace. \nWe must remember, united we stand, devided we fall. \nSo, unity of the people across the world and their desire for peace is of prime iportance right at the moment. \nWe all must raise our voice to the same tune for world peace and for the protection of our hard earned civilization. Otherwise, the planet we all are living in through ages, will inevitably run in to a blackhole.

We should do more to get along that the United States is currently doing.

start wars, lose wars, put up with Mr bush (parts 1 and 2), make friends with Mr Blair, exploit people - both inside and outside their own country, become the most hated government in history(probably - apart from north Korea - who lets face it are kooooooookoo!!) fund unscrupulous people/regimes and then, you've guessed it, start a war. ( reading back, it does sound like i am anti war, but - just for the record, i do support our troops!!)
