What is the definition of Bad Peace?? No war is good, but sometimes it is necessary!

"There was never a good war, or a bad peace."
Benjamin Franklin
I can agree to that, but then again, it depends on the situation. To me, there was no such thing as a good war, since war usually creates more tensions in the end. However, a bad peace can always cause nation/people to go on the brink of war (Cold War for example), and usually the bad peace means one side is oppressive, so...that's not really good either. But then again, it depends on the situation...

Neville Chamberlain thought so...and the result was Hitler not only annexed Czechoslovakia, but then he invaded Poland...and then he invaded the rest of Europe. Had the European powers gone to war to save Czechoslovakia, World War II as it is recorded need not have happened. A good war is better than a bad peace, because a bad peace will only lead to war in the long run. Stopping Hitler in Czechoslovakia would have saved tens of millions of lives.

I disagree wholeheartedly. The Word of God says that peace at all costs is no peace at all. Take for example, one of the most basic of human relationships: parent and child. If the parent constantly gives in to the child's whims for "peace" sake, what is the child learning? Will they grow to want peace too or will they grow to want what they want, when they want it, how they want it, etc?
I do not believe there are "good" wars. But there ARE "necessary" wars in every facet of our lives. Remember the old adage, "Choose your battles wisely." That is what we sometimes forget . . . there will always be battles in life, both on a personal level and on broadscale levels. The real skill comes in choosing which ones in which to engage.

Bad peace usually leads to war. Especially when a dictator of another country is slaughtering hundreds of thousands of his own people.

depends on what you mean, if you mean a peace for a bad cause is better than a war with a good cause then i disagree, in that case the war for a good cause is better.

No such thing as a bad peace! Difficult maybe, but it is a lot better than having to put up another black wall!

Would it be better to leave Iraq and Afghanstan, and then see another plane hit another tower?
or maybe a bus bomb at an amusement park on a major summer holiday?
If we don't fight them, they will kill more of our loved ones. They want us to fight a war with them, because they actually believe if they are killed in battle, they will go to heaven.
Would you rather stop the enemy now, or wait till they kill your whole family?

If by "bad peace" you mean that I and my family have to live with terrorist attacks, then no. I'd rather fight for something better.
