Unfortunately, no. World Tolerance is probably a more realistic goal. Or World Patience.
Too many people are convinced that their way is the only right way. Until people can accept that they don't have all the answers, they'll continue to fight that they're the only right ones.

You may begin real attempts at peace only when Islamofascists are eliminated. However, that is probably not likely in our lifetime unless we take this Islamofascist threat seriously and take risk to rid the world of it. Islam is a very oppressive, violent religion, not only on its own people, but certainly on non-Muslims. The good Muslims ought to stand up and condemn Islamic extremists and Islamic terrorism, unequivocally, without any "and," "if," or "but."
Unfortunately for the modern world, the Muslims have been conditioned by their dictatorial regimes to have one thought, the same as the regime. There is no spectrum of opinions in the Muslim world, there is no freedom of expression, freedom of thought, freedom to live life freely (exception is in Turkey).
It's time for Muslims to take accountability for their religion and culture. Stop spinning, and address the fact that the Muslim culture is one of the most oppressive and violent cultures, against its own people, and certainly against other cultures.
For those who believe that the extremist element in Islam is small, the numbers are staggering. There are 1.2 billion Muslims in this world. Lets take a very liberal view that only a very small percentage of Muslims are exterme, while the rest of the Muslim world is very peaceful. So if only 10% of Muslims have extreme point of views, and may be a threat, and must be dealt with, meaning dealing with 120 million Muslims! How about 1%? Then you must deal with 12 million Muslims. How about 1/10 of a percent? Then you must deal with 1.2 million Muslims. The numbers are staggering! How do you propose dealing with even the "very low" figures of 1.2 million Muslim extremists?
It would be to the benefit of the World to rid of Hezbollah, Hamas, the Syrian and Iranian regime. It must be done to finally have a chance for peace in the region and the rest of the world.

Sadly, no. Aint gonna happen. I suppose those of us who love our freedom and think it's worth fighting for could just capitulate to the power hungry, murderous thugs of the world who think they have some divine right to decide how the rest of us should live and that might be bring peace, but it's not a world I would want to live in.

It would be wonderful but very difficult to achieve. We need to start at home. How many of us live in a household that is at peace, without major arguments. We all need to take responsibility for ourselves and bring peace to all our own relationships. We need communities to live in peace, nations to live in peace and the international community to live in peace. You can only control your own peace - make sure that when you have conflict with someone, you do all that is possible to resolve it in a peacable way. If we can't do it on an individual basis, what chance do we have for the whole planet?

In my opinion(and I know that I am right), world peace will NEVER be achieved and this is due to many different facets of life that we have... RELIGION, Economics, Uneducated, GREED for POWER, fanatacism(as in the case of some dictators in Africa, North Korea and today, Iran).. We can ALWAYS hope that peace could be achieved but it will never happen.. EVEN TODAY with Israel and Iran(fighting in Lebanon), there will probably be a cease fire but PEACE will NEVER be achieved and fighting will again erupt at a later time.

No. People are too intolerant about people who have different religions, ethnic backgrounds, and ideas. There have been holy wars since the beginning of time, and that isn't going to end.

No. Too many different ideals and too many extremists believing their the only right ones in the world.
