How can we stop the wars in the Middle East and the rest of the world?

Answer 1

Equality. If all people are equal, then there would be nothing to fight about.

Answer 2

At first one would have to find a couple of decent men who one can happily elect to the offices of President and Vice-President of the USA. And then we need a third to replace Tony Blair as the British Prime Minister. (A suitable man for that job is Gordon Brown, who is already waiting in the wings.)

Next the new US administration would have to admit the mistakes made by the Bush administration and withdraw US and Coalition troops unconditionally from Iraq and Afgahnistan.

This would do a lot and calm many angry minds. But to be sure we can move towards peace, Iraq and Afghanistan would need some compensation for the damage done by foreign troops, and that includes also payments to relatives of civilians killed by the US forces.
Last, but not least, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Blair should be sent to the International War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague for a fair trial. That would show the whole world that there is only one law for everyone. At present it is clear that there are two: One for the USA and her close allies, and the other for the rest of the world. If this goes on, there will soon be war everywhere, not only in the Middle East.

Answer 3

Humankind have existed -as homo sapiens- more than 100.000 years. There is no evidence of any fighting between humans before 10.000 years ago. This means that we have started fighting very recently and of course we can do without it. Some people find it hard to picture a world without police force but that's in existence for a couple of centuries. Or even ask about tomatoes and you'll see we are very easily conditioned to believe certain things are indispensable but they are not.
We CAN live without wars.
We CAN live without armies and police.
We CAN live without governments and countries.
The question is, asking more clearly,
How can an individual help to stop the war, here and now?
(Please read this, it's not "our governments should do this or that" or "we shall all together rise up and protest" kind of thing).

Answer 4

It will just move to another place on this planer. It was not so long ago that Europe was constantly at war. Before that it was the Romans and down to the Greeks. I doubt if you will believe this fact that there are less wars and killing now than there was 100 years ago. One of the bloodiest wars ever was the civil war in the USA.
...I would like to see it stop as you would. Sure would be nice if I live long enough to see that. I doubt it though.

Answer 5

According to Arthur C. Clark, we could have some benevolent space aliens show extreme power and end all war amongst nations, but I somehow don't think that'll happen. Therefore, be comforted by the thought that without war, there would be no such thing as peace, just as there's no top without a bottom, good without bad, etc.

Answer 6

A common miconception about mankind is that we are all peace seeking. In reality there has been war since we were able to figure out that a rock can be thrown or used as a club. So the answer is we can't. Depressing, but true.

Answer 7

Perhaps if diplomacy were more effective...wars are part of the history of the world...but they are really such a waste of human life and necessities...
Only a peace based on justice and fairness set up for the good of all will ever bring peace to the middleeast...Everyone involved seems to feel like they have been treated unjustly...so they try to take it all....this just won't work...jmho

Answer 8

Sometimes, it takes the biggest kid on the block to keep the other kids from fighting.

Peace through strength has been the proven path to peace since before the time of Augustus (Tutmosis III; Sargon; etc.). What is unique in human history is taht in our time (since at least Queen Victoria) is that the democratic projection of power coupled with modern Judeo-Christian ethics has proven to often win the affections (and cooperation, distinguished from religisous conversions) of the conquered, and has itself avoided war while conquering hostile ideology (Reagan).

Answer 9

Wars will not be stopped ever! However, thy will be stopped if there was a plan among arab countries to have a unity... unity is the best hing to settel suh dillema ! but as what the syrian playwright Mohammed AlMaghout says in one of his books... UNITY AMONG ARABS IS ACHEAIVED JUST IN TWO THINGS, PAIN AND SADNESS!

he is almost right, may peace be upon him..

Wars will be stopped if the USA goooooooooooo to hell with its twin Israel !

Answer 10

when everyone has what they want and they are happy for the rest of their lives."When there is Peace,the world's population increases so much,when there is War,the world's population decreases." So this is the only way the world's population is balance.

Answer 11

Pray, That helps a lot. The Bible says:

James 5, 14-16:

14. Is any man sick among you? Let him bring in the priests of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15And the prayer of faith shall save the sick man: and the Lord shall raise him up: and if he be in sins, they shall be forgiven him. 16Confess therefore your sins one to another: and pray one for another, that you may be saved. For the continual prayer of a just man availeth much.
