Is so, is the peace permanant or temporary? Do you know any incidents of revenge that brought lasting peace or change of attitude or power base?

Short answer is no. Revenge leads to an ever expanding round of retribution for the last wrong. There is no end to it. Just look at the middle east.

Revenge will never bring peace. Truce and reconciliation are what we need. We need world leaders like Gandhi who understand the meaning of peace and non-violence.
As long as we have warmongers like Bush and Blair, we will never have lasting peace.
Perhaps the people should start by refusing to go to war. Make war a dirty word and a dirty deed. Let's have wholehearted belief in non-violence and whole hearted commitment never to harm another human being or an animal.
Then we will have lasting peace.

Revenge just brings more revenge, it seems like sooner or later that the leaders would figure out that we all live on the same planet and it would be better to peacefully co-exist. But, I doubt if it will happen in my life time, there are to many wars going on about nothing.

Peace of mind does not come from revenge. Revenge is hate motivated. It intends to do some form of harm. It lowers you to the level of the one you intend revenge against. Peace of mind comes from knowing that you are better than them and sophisticated enough to brush off the infraction against you, learn from your mistake and move on.

Revenge does not bring about peace, it simply restarts the cycle. Tolerance, which we will not see this lifetime would be the only thing to do that.

NO. Peace can be permanet or temporary - but it DEPENDS from u and u alone.
