why not love all and  end bloodshed?

The world does not want love.  You are quite naive on the subject.  There are parts of the world (yes those the US has not corrupted ) where if your the wrong color or from the wrong side of town or they just want something of yours you are dead.  \n\nYou know why?   Someone in the area just wants peace and love and the evil ones feed off of that knowing those people won't do anything.   Then it hits critical mass and they can't save themselves because they believe LOVE doesn't allow them to stand up for the given rights.\n\nSometimes the only love you can give is tough brutal love to cleanse the world of those who do not want love.  \n\nR E A L I T Y

its quite simple, as long there is humans. They will be wars. The world must balance itself in hate and love. If we do not have hate, we do not have love. If we do not have love, we do not have hate. The world and mankind must balance itself. If one side of the balances is tipped too much, it will be chaos.

Very interesting question indeed!  I believe that the knee-jerk reaction to this question would be "no", however, when thinking about it more broadly--I guess ultimately the answer is "yes".  Perhaps this is the basis of "justified war" that religious organizations speak about.  A good example from recent history would be the horrific events of Nazi Germany, Rwanda & currently in Darfur & Congo.  Since  genocide was (is) happening, violence may be necessary--and then acceptable to put an end to the problem.

Kill all the bad guys, that simple.  Compassion will never win a war.  America can't just turn tail and run; we ain't the French.  Even with a different party or President... guess what we're still here and we probibly would have come here either way.  The war will be won with the death of bad guys.  Kill them all and let God sort them out.... and throw them into hell.  Kill every terrorist, insurgent, warlord, dictator, etc, etc.  We can win the war and leave Iraq if we focus less on rebuilding the nation(Dept of State can do that, DOD has other things to think about) and more on putting bullets in bad guys' hearts/heads and dismembering/vaporizing groups of bad guys with missles, tanks, bombs, mortars, artillery.  I'll be more than happy to call in the wrath of God trough Arty, fast movers, and attack helos.  It's what I do and I love it.

It's not that easy...history is history...the only way that people would stop hating would be if everyone had a sudden case of acute amnesia. I wish everyday that everyone would get along. Sometimes people are nice but other times you don't have the energy to deal with it.

I think war is a very important part of our lives and especially the economy. The only reason for patriotism and the desire for peace comes from war, hate, and killing. The Second World War jolted America from the Great Depression of the 30's to the industrial wonders of the 40's and 50's. If there was no war, there would be no democracy because arguing is a verbal war, and pits brothers against one another. Some say the only way to have complete world peace is to be run under either a communist government or monarchy. But others would then get restless and brew up another war. As long as there is life, there can be no such thing as world peace, it is in all creatures nature to fight others either different or similar for survival and power. So there is really no reason for all the fuss about world peace. It isn't going to happen until all life is destoyed. The term pacifist then, according to nature, means "fool bent of the destucrtion of all life". Not exactly what they profess, is it?

To end hatred. \nWithout hatred, there would be no wars and with no wars there would be peace. Also, without hatred there would be no bigots.

Violence as a solution to any problem should only be a last resort. In a perfect world there would be no war, but we do not live in a perfect world. The United States cannot police the whole world it is just unworkable and unrealistic. The problem in the way we choose our fights. Wars we engage in are the ones where we perceive a vital national interest rather than a humanitarian one. Iraq is a good example. While there is a humanitarian side of the conflict, we would not be there if the country did not possess a large oil supply. Oil is central to the US economy and therefore represents a vital national interest. Compare this with Dafur. A terrible genocide is occurring there, but honestly speaking they have nothing we want. The optimum world military situation would be one where nations acted together against tyrants, but unfortunately political realities do not allow for this.

Okay! I did not , honestly look at anything you had to say after your first response...War is not best solution..etc..we are all animals that is what we do ...we {most do not like it} but that is what we, in reality do. I hate it..so many lives lost. but only so many of us can stop it or do something about it.. L

DO YOU MEAN THE WHOLE WORLD??  BECAUSE HE'S ALREADY DESTROYED THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE'S 'WORLD'S'.  EACH OF THOSE WORLDS IS A LIFE WITH MOTHERS, FATHERS, BROTHERS, SISTERS, WIVES AND CHILDREN, WHO IN TURN HAVE THEIR WORLDS SHATTER LIKE GLASS, WITH PAIN, EMPTINESS, AND HEARTS THAT NEVER STOP BLEEDING. \nONE WOULD HOPE HE COULD BE SATISFIED WITH THIS MUCH DEVASTATION, BUT HE IS IMMUNE TO THIS SCREAMING AGONY, AS POWER ROARS IN HIS EARS.  IF OLD MEN WANT WARS, LET THEM FIGHT THEM!!!  THEIR LIVES ARE ALMOST OVER, THE KIDS ARE GROWN, WHY TAKE THE LIVES OF THOSE FULL OF PROMISE WITH YEARS AND YEARS LEFT TO TASTE THE SWEETNESS?

Everyone can't get along all the time. It's part of being alive, fighting. They actually say that fighting is healthy for you, it helps you vent. What's the point of having one of those relationships where you never get mad at the other person? It's not the way to live!! You fight with anyone.. you're mother, father, siblings, friends, even strangers. Of course lovers are going to fight.. doesn't mean that don't love each other though.

NO.\nShould all loves head towards marriages?

I think the general public of Iraq want this fighting to end more than we do!  Just remember that people are people, just with cultural differences.  If all people treated each other with respect the communication would flow freely and maybe we could learn to understand each other.

I doubt it.  What could stoke the fires of passion in a holy war more than fighting against the inevetable?  Most Americans don't seem to realize that is how they see this.  In their eyes, they're not "evil-doers."  The way they see it, they are trying to save the rest of the world from us.  If you saw yourself on the side of the righteous rebels, would YOU ever give up?

If war was ended all over the surface of the globe, disease would be much easier to deal with.  It is hard to treat an HIV patient with bullets flying over your head (or lower).\nAnother reason might be that an end to war would free more resources which could then be used to fight all kinds of health problems, not just disease.

When we are working towards peace, tolerance and stability, why should we encourage people to divide? Its the US that is fueling the clashes because they want to see a bleeding Iraq to secure oil supplies!!

i always that the wordl needed a war counrtry.  that way, we could just go there and fight and not wreck houses and stuff.....................  i suggested part of Africa as its big and theres a lot of suffering going on there........we could buy part of it and help out the people at the same time.
