Solution?\n\nKill all of the pacifists.\n\nOnce it's only a matter of force, the bullies dry up and blow away.\n\nNot gonna happen, so we're stuck with negotiations on one end and military force on the other.\n\nThank you for your time.

Sticking your head in the sand an ignoring lessons from history about the threats our country can and have faced is the policy of an idiot. Even the USA could become the enemy of the UK in the future when natural resources become worth fighting for. The 21st century has along way to go and it is more than likely that a global war will occur again. No doubt caused by a lack of water and natural resources. I woulld much rather our country did not have to give in to the USA, China or Russia when the fighting does actually begin. And only an idiot would be happy to allow a country like North Korea to have access to Nuclear weapons. They have a stated policy of wanting to overthrow the South Korean regime using any means possible.

What CAN we do?  It is not financially feasible to do anything at this point...we art out of money, out of troops and out of morale.  Who's would support a war?  Sanctions, sure...anything else? Nope.

In no way war is life.We should take all the available step to avoid any sort of war.b'cozwar is cause of immense destruction.But when war becomes inevitable then we should not  take a back seat and come up to protect our right.

Not to sound crass, but get educated, frequent the library, and think for yourself.  Meter what you say, and make sure to think things through before acting.  At first, it will seem like you're being excessively cautious, but that often is what it takes until you get used to how to resolve situations peacefully.  Given how many wars are going on right now, you're not alone in your struggle to think clearly, but you've definitely made the right choice.

Too late to stop another 'super' power...they've achieved deterrence.....ie, the ability to defend itself through nuclear deterrence.  Since they are not committed to a policy of national suicide, don't look for them to initiate any preemptive strikes.  Their threat is entirely economic, soon they will be taking over the world markets...just watch.

The realities of the oil crunch and energy-hungry nations have forced many countries into a potential global conflict. We can't back away from it but we could limit it by producing alternative sources of power. While the US sanctions the war in Iraq (as a source of black gold),it condemns China for seeking the same in African countries...by peaceful means! The American government has been led by wealth over many years,and the current administration is not an exception. Perhaps we should require a different document....not of independence but a curriculum vitae of elected officials as well as proof of their financial dealings.

Mmm it’s hard to accept this fact, but it's true. The worst of this situation is that is too late to stop this process, and there's nothing we can do. The key for the success in the US was the relation of respect that we had with God and humanity, but at this time the US only cares about wars. Sadly, we'll have to accept the idea that US will collapse sooner or later, and that's when we will realize that we are not alone in this world, because there's others countries and we have to learn how to live together. If Empires like Roman fell down, why the US Empire had to be this exception? This is the hard reality. I just can’t assure you how long will this process take, but it’s for sure that it’ll happen, someday, somehow.

Yes there will be more war, it is just a matter of time, my advice to any future leader of our goverment is to not use ground troops or aircraft in any future conflict in the middle east but to instead simple launch missles from sea and simple keep bombing them untill they relent or their war capabilities are zero and they beg for peace.

Question is more deep than that and its better discuss using metaphore; \n1. Small comunity live wihtout guns any kind of discussion are solved through force, but without tragical incidents. \n2. Everybody have guns and any kind of discussion  now ends always with tragical incidents. \n\nGuns should be necessary when there is no Global policy to avoid big brother syndrom. ... but it can bring excess of power when hysterical government reach the power. Global policy is part of a great illusion, once rullers are guys with money. Many recent wars are linked to natural resources and political influency. \n\nSure, one caountry can have its own right to have a gun to defend theirself, what is necessary nowadays, but at the same time, its quite dangerous. By one hand you can defend your freedom and by other hand, its weapons can just slip into wrong causes and to unecessary damage. \n\nBetter small group with so dangerous weapon than everybody armed. Less risk to our planet. \nQuestion should be cancelled if we have global rule oriented into respect international borders and freedom, but it regards into utopic field of discussions (Plato)\n\nBy the way: sovereign country means any countrie regonized by UN. Discussions about democracy or religion, are just excuses. \nSituations where is happening genocide should be kept under control by the rest of the world. Ecological disasters should too, but will never happen (South Asia, specially China... great part of amazonic forest are just going to G7 ... Global colapse of huge amounts of ecosystems are being destroyed by industrial fishing)

I can't believe playtoofast's answer.  The way to avoid war is to ruin the whole planet in order to 'save' the planet?  (we only have one atmosphere and if you haven't noticed its already pretty damaged already)  Besides, who are we saving the planet from?  People who you don't like?  Tsk Tsk\n\nAnyway just because war is and has been a part of human activity for a long time, it is never inevitable.  As soon as we think it is then we allow ourselves to take another step down the road to war.\n\nHumans can do whatever they want to do.  Each generation seems to forget the incredible stupidity and suffering attached to warfare and begins it all over again out of ignorance and ego.\n\nIf we can spread education and spread compassion for differing points of view then we can achieve peace.  It starts with each of us controlling our own negativity.

I served in the Air Force the 1st time we went to war with Iraq. That war was never officially over. For a war to be over, there must be a signed letter of surrender or a peace treaty. The only thing that we argeed to was a ceasefire. A ceasefire does not end a war, but put it on hold until there is a declaration of surrender or one of peace. I am glad that we finally have the chance to finish the war in that region. My prayers are with you and your family. You have a OOOH RAAH from Mississippi!!

i think the only way to bring about change in a short period of time is by war, peace takes so long because you have to annoy the crap out of the people you want to change.  war gets peoples attention, there are peacefull demonstrations every day most people just ignore them because they cant get enough people involved.  Like with gas prices 200 people standing on the corner protesting is not going to change anything.  I also don't think a war needs to be fought with guns there are other ways of going about it the only problem is we can not get enough people behind one cause to make it worth wild to fight

Your right. You should probably take up arms against the US army to stop them.  I think after everything thats happended you are morally obligated to take a stand. Arent you?

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.
