People should put more faith in themselves and God.

Many great people have tried, but all have failed. It is I am afraid the true ending of mankind on this planet. As long as there are George Bush's in the world there will be war.

When people begin to lose their belief they become untrustable ,in this century you find someone with belief and avoidance from bad acts ,with great difficulty.Never trust someone who doesn't fear from God.Be aware of humans.

There was a time not so long ago when the future looked promising....end of the cold war, the emergence of people power in harsh regimes, popular culture's role in addressing the world's starving, the advances in science that promised the eradication of disease and poverty, etc.  Now it seems that the "old order" has reasserted itself and the most powerful governments of the world are once again committed to jingoistic warmongering activities that place us all at risk once more.  Unfortunately those human traits that are no longer required but have survived evolution to date (greed, fear, aggression) are still a driving force behind most, if not all of, world politics today.  Strangely enough, everyone knows deep down the correct path to take......just no-one has the guts.

When you are in a position of leadership/power, others will be displeased...for a multitude of reasons-some valid, others not. Leaders didn't become so by listening to popular opinion. They had the courage and the integrity to persevere and do the right thing. The "right thing" is in the eye of the beholder...so it may not always appear as such. Bottom line is that USA is still, the greatest country in the world...not because we think ourselves superior, etc...but because we stand for democracy, freedom and human rights that are sadly only a fantasy for some throughout the world. This country is the greatest because it is comprised of people from every corner of the earth, every religion and race...and somehow, we all have made it work for an impressively long time. Again, it hasn't been without trials...but what others have endured in our country's past, have made our existence today a fairly remarkable one. \n\nSo to all the USA haters out there....quit drinking your Hatorade.

That's an impossible idea to realise. Better is that leaders of peoples meet each other and also and perhaps more people meet each other to learn to live in this world and to respect the different cultures and history's and religions.\nThe ideal is that we make for all people a better world!

As far as I am concern, there are no great leaders in the world today. We have many that lead but for the wrong reason. Tell me what happened to the world leaders of today? Where are they? Does just wanting to be right at all times, can make you the greatest  world leader? \nThe people leading countries in today's world are just competing with one another, instead of working towards peace in this Earth of ours. And who pays for this, the people that go into the military with opened hearts to defend their country, that is not even protecting them. That is the sad truth.

I think it has to do with the leadership. Some leaders are only interested in keeping all the power and money for themselves and don't help the nation.

There are very few people who depend on faith or "God."\n\nThe primary God most people worship is the US dollar. \n\nIf people who claim to have faith actually believed what they so poorly try to preach, they would not be using electricity or any other modern invention. They would be living under trees relying on faith and God to take care of them.

Some people want to rule the World because, There is a deep unconscious divide between Exceptance & Unexceptance. ome people want to achieve more thatn other people because there is not just satisfaction but, a great need to want to be better & more reliable to other people. Some of these people are actually positive people that have positive agenda's. There is nothing wrong w/wanting to rule in who's or whatever world they choose but, the reall World has never been ruled just by One Individuall.The rest of the people that remain content have already looked into those posibilities but know that just being content is a whole lot to ask for anyway's. If there were more Millionaries in the World than Poor people, then I guess that means that there would not be a need for Poor People. I'm Poor but, I'd rather be content then because there is a whole lot more to do in this World than rule it.

Well, the US cannot do it alone. It is incumbent upon people all over the world to put their religions behind them, relegate these silly myths to history books, and embrace reason as a path to a better future.\n\nReligious people look at the world through a very cloudy lens that they call "faith." Their need to impose these chains on others is at the root of most of the world's suffering, and behind almost every war.\n\nThe fact that people will accept things without evidence just because some ancient book tells them to is insane. We need to put these books away.\n\nWe could see the end of war and a great reduction in suffering in our lives if we would only embrace reason and become reasonable people.

Mankind look to each other instead of putting their trust in god to solve their problems.

The world doesn't hold the ignorant resposible for their action.

The world's leaders ignore global warming and poverty because the world's leaders are generally the wealthiest people in their countries, and therefore have a financial interest in business, and environmental protection policies are bad for industry, and in the poor staying poor (i.e. not redistributing their wealth to the poor).  The people don't overthrow them because the people are too busy watching Fox News to know what's going on in the world.

often these leaders are actually dictators who use fear and threat of violence to sustain their power over long periods of time. since the people of these countries are often poor, uneducated, etc. they have little means to fight back.

My oppinion, People were created with the need for a savior, Jesus Christ, but they don't want to accept him as Lord. So they try to fill that "void" with money, drugs, sex, whatever. And it leaves them feeling empty and unfulfilled.

Because they dont see anything wrong with thier lives,the problem is that they dont have a relationship with god.They dont understand that we are saved by faith,not works.
