Simon W. Moon said:I think that very few people would choose to engage in warfare when they think that they have a choice.
What would be a prerequisite for a positive peace would be an effective and equitable means of resolving serious conflicts.
Laternater said:Peace? Interesting subject indeed. I do believe peace is achievable as long as animals (to include humans) no longer exist. This might seem a little negitive but rather it is reality at it's best. As long as we all have different ideas and live different lives our perceptions are often tanted.

What percentage of the population do you suppose they comprise? I don't know eactly, but I suppose that they fall into the category I described as "very few people."Gandhi>Bush said:How much money do you think people building weapons for our government make when we go to war?

Sure, this is mostly a given. What's needed is an effective and equitable alternative to military force for resolving serious and protracted conflicts. Without such an altenative people will feel that they're compelled to wage war.Gandhi>Bush said:There are no quick solutions when it comes to peace.
