How is war going to be stopped?
It's not like you can just wave a wand and it disappears.
Until everyone is happy, there will always be someone that uses force to "get his way".
And how can everyone be happy?
No matter what the issue, there's always someone that isn't satisfied.
Articles like that read great, but there's just no way war is ever going away.
Even if we were all one nation, and everyone was all one color, and there was only one religion, there would always be someone that was unhappy enough about something to use force.

Unless we all became ants.

Maybe that's the solution, we all get in that teleporter machine and instead of a fly, we put an ant in there. :-)

Why War Must No Longer Be Allowed

War takes place when two sides disagree over something enough to fight over it.

The only way war will ever not be. Is when one side of the dispute submits to being ruled by the other side.

So war will always be until all people on earth have the same thinking and the same values.

And the WINNER of the war will determine what those values are.

That`s why the only thing that really brings peace is war. The more complete the victory as in unconditional surrender the longer the time is between wars.

That is why I doubt that you will ever see a war between the US and Japan/Germany again. Because the US way of thinking and values has become Japan/Germany way of thinking and values.

Lasting peace is never made through negotiations.

Only war can bring lasting peace.

RE:Why War Must No Longer Be Allowed

That would be great, but how can that possibly be enforced? We'd have to go to war to stop countries from going to war. That's a bit like screwing for virginity.
It's a nice idealistic idea, but as with most idealistic ideas, they are not of much value in the real world.
