There will be no peace as long as there is capitalism. Only a world socialist movement will bring world peace.

The old saying "Might is Right" applies in 21st century also. And, this is the major hurdle in way of global peace. USA & USSR tried to reach the top position. USSR collapsed and disintegrated into smaller countries with no relevance on global scenario. Now, the powerful rulers in USA are behaving like drunk soldiers of a victorious kingdom. China has adopted the path of economic progress without wasting their time and energy in solving the comflicts of rest of the world. So, the days of China occupying the position of USSR are numbered. USA will not remain the lone superpower. However, undercurrents creating a situation of rising democratic forces in China can help USA in retaining the top position. But, restoring peace on the planet is not visible in near future.

Peace is something which is incoherent with human nature.
Somebody has to teach peace, Great beings like Noah, Jesus, Moses, David, Mohammad came and went empty handed, creating more trouble than creating peace.
Eversince and even today more wars are being implemented in the name of those graet prophets and saints. The disturbance will go on till it reaches an apex and there is the dooms day.
Peace will be only possible, when all are dead and put before the great jury.
Whatever form of after-life is granted to the individuals after the dooms day, hell or heaven; it will bring eternal peace.

The US is not to blame for your problems. You are. The US is not seeking to become a superpower. It is. We are a superpower because of our work ethic and ingenuity. We don't need other countries. We are not imperialistic. That is a fallacy. We are not playing havoc, we are protecting our own people from crazed warriors bent on destroying our lives. Greenpeace is a joke. They hug trees. How do you think they help? Don't trivialize a war which you don't understand. Learn more about it. You could go to RealPolitics.com to start. It carries articles from diverse sources.

Peace is an illusion. The harder to try to achieve it the farther away you get. The only way to ensure peace is to enforce it, and then you lose it at the same time. It's futile to want world peace, since it means nothing without justice. Peace will never be achieved as long as there are tryrants and terrorists, criminals, etc.

As long as there is GREED, there will be no peace. Even if the US was stopped, other countries will pursuit wealth. If you look at it in more details, most (if not all) of the wars that started all over the world since Earth was created, was because of greed. This is a characteristic of a human, it is only a matter of controlling the urge, and never can all mankind control it.

The United Nations or EU must force the USA to stop invading countries so that there will be peace in this world.

Peace cannot be bought!
Likewise:
Freedom is ANYTHING BUT FREE!

Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died.
Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. What kind of men were they?
Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson Jr, noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart.
Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates.
Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution.
These were not wild-eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged:
"For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor."
They gave you and me a free and independent America.
The history books never told you a lot about what happened in the Revolutionary War. We didn't fight just the British. We were British subjects at that time and we fought our own government!
Some of us take these liberties so much for granted, but we shouldn't.
So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and silently thank these patriots. It's not much to ask for the price they paid.
Remember: freedom is never free!
I hope you will show your support by please sending this page/link to as many people as you can. It's time we get the word out that patriotism is NOT a sin, and the Fourth of July has more to it than beer, picnics, and baseball games.

You can not BUY peace.
The US is not pursuing becoming a superpower - it is a super power. Are you trying to tell us that Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan were/are peaceful places? The US isn't doing anything to Iran that the rest of the world isn't doing. So that is bunk also.
Your question and your statement are false.

First of all,peace cannot be bought....It can be brought by people.And,people must be willing to.
There's never and never was peace in our planet.Or,possibly in our universe (you never know if astronauts got into an argument with each other in outer space).
The best we can do is do our part and contribute for a better world and possibly,encourage others to do so.
