There will NEVER be peace...there is too much greed in the world. \n\nThere will always be someone wanting more than they have...be it, money or power.

i think u make sense. the world will be a much better place if people were nicer to eachother. \n\nin particular, i think that instead of going to war against other countries, maybe we should be making peace. i mean, even the people who flew planes into the twin towers had a reason for doing it...at the time, american soldiers were in saudi arabia. maybe instead of blowing their homes up, we should be listening to their complaints and helping to solve them\n\nso yeah, i think we should have a "everyone shut up and be nice to eachother day"

The problem with "world peace" is in the definition from culture to culture.  Different cultures have different views on "peace".  Many in Western Cultures view "world peace" as a utopia where armed forces are never needed and we all work together for the common cause of advancing Humanity and self-fullfillment.  The minority Whahabbists Islam sect (Taliban/Al Qeada's brand of Islam) views "world peace" as everyone with dissenting views is dead or enslaved.  A Serb may view "peace" as having no living Bosnians or Kosovar Albainians alive and vice-versa.  Hitler's view of "world peace" was having no Jews... Oddly this is the same view many "anti-war" protesters share according to their writings and protest signs.\n\nIt is a sad fact that most of the world is increadibly cuturally ignorant.  The "Blame America" crowd makes one believe this is a problem unique to the USA, but it is not.  Far too many in the world are willfully ignorant of other cultures.  Oddly enough, or maybe not, the US Military is spending large sums of money to teach service members to be fluent in other languages (Rossetta Stone) and training in other cultures.  This, in turn, causes mission overseas to be more successfull and builds better friendships.  Though it will take time for this to fully come into play.\n\nSo the biggest problem is the lack of a common definition of "world peace".  If the world cannot even agree on a definition for "peace", then it will be difficult to attain.  Unfortunatly, it may take an influence outside humanity for us to unite (an asteroid strike, truly massive natural devistation, or some such factor, and then the unification would only last for a short while).

all the world doesnt want peace and that is why there is war....besides....war is good for the U.S. economy. So when the economy drops the chances of war breaking out for reasons like....Weapons Of Mass Destruction  aka a blatant LIE become ever more real.

While it is not impossible it does certainly seem to be improbable.  Thoughout recorded history there have only been 7 years of total world peace and that has been a day here and a day there to add up to the 7 years.  Religous differences, racial differences, as well as disagreements on type of government will always stand in our way.  John Lennon tried to lay out his plan for World Peace in his song "Imagine", it would take all of that and then some to bring it to a reality.

because there is a major lack of education, u can see that in all well educated countries, people are more civilized and thus more peaceful, in not so educated countries, leaders try to keep their power by feeding crap into everyone else's brains...i believe that until we provide good education to everyone, there will never be peace....and peace to me is internal satisfaction...

World peace from Iraq?  Are you serious?  If achieving world peace was that easy... well... it isn't.

No, man can not accomplish world peace on their own.  If you read the last days as describe in the Bible's Matthew chapter 24 and Luke chapter 21, it looks like someone just described what we see around the world.

No. There will never be world peace. If there is ever world peace there will still be people that are repressed and in poverty. When people are repressed and in poverty they act out against those that arnt.

nobody wins in war...that is a fact... all lives are damaged, not only physically, but mostly emotionally, psychologically and spiritually...why the question of war between countries? it is the thought of a person who loves war, who is supposed to embrace peace at all times...please, let us put a stop to this ill-thoughts. instead, spread the word...peace unto you, brother...

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.

There will NEVER be peace throughout the world, at any given time there are at least 5 wars going on, many we are involved in but with less news coverage, WWII was over 60 years ago and we still have troops in Germany, Korea ws 50 years ago still have troops there. As long as one country has something another country wants there will be war, Until we have alternative fuels or the middle east runs out of oil we will be in Iraq

The world is the world, and people are people. Human nature hasn't changed one shred since the beginning of recorded history. There are good moments and bad in history. But, in the whole history of recorded time, there has always been violence and war and oppression and anger and such.\n\nThe world may or may not get better, but the point is to make our own little worlds better. Our little worlds of our families and friends and neighbors. That is really as much as we can do.

I do not think it is a nation that is the big threat to peace.  Religion is the threat and has been for one heck of a long time.  There are many other factors as well such as language, customs and economy.  Nations get caught up in wars and other conflicts due to one or all of these and more reasons.  I keep hearing and Reading how bed things are now.  Do any of you read and understand history at all.  There is more peace on this earth now than there has been for over three thousand years.  This is a fact, it is true.  What is causing all this fear is the fact that now anything that happens any place on earth and beyond can be shown to the entire world in a matter of minutes.  The news media spends very little time reporting the good. Good does not earn enough money so it is the bad that people want to see and hear about.  I know most will not believe what I say because most are not able to think for themselves.
