Re: Do you think any of them would say "no--I believe in war." Yes, they believe in war. It is not what they say matter, it is what they do. They believe that war can solve the problem.

You need to distinguish between "desired" and "practically possible". Most people (not all) feel peace is a desired state. However only a minority believe it is possible. > Who the hell doesn't believe in peace? Bush and most of his administration do not believe in Peace. NeoCons expressed do not believe in peace. They believe in submission through force. For that matter, Chirac does not believe in Peace either, neither does Putin, nor China, nor do most other politicians. And so many of the hawks I've seen on FADG thread don't believe in it either. People who believe in peace are often considered naive and idealistic. They are often labeled as living in lala land. But believing in Peace is not the same as being ignorant of obstacles to peace including our own selfish biases. Just because I believe in peace, somehow I am blind to the hatred and selfishness that roams the world. It just means that I think it is an Peace is more than a cease fire. Sun Tzu PS Since you seem to indicate you believe in Peace, tell us how you think it can be achieved.
