Will all the anti war people be happy if there are no more US military deaths on foreign soil? Will the US media ignore any killing or fighting in other countries if the US military stays out of it or will we hear the wailing of liberals to stop the slaughter in other 3rd world countries? I am amazed at how people who want peace also believe it can be obtained with just words and flowers and that if we just ignore the bad guys, they will leave us alone. Is it so hard to see the reality of doing nothing about the bad guys could lead to more bloodshed and the belief that America will do nothing to stop it because the death of even one US soldier is to high a price to pay?

Since all agree there will be no "World Peace", with or without the US military, what do the anti war people want?

If all the troops came home today, the same people complaining about them being over there would be complaining they need to go back to protect the thousands of lives being lost. There is no making some people happy at all.
Update: I don't think most of the anti-war people know what they want. All they know is that they want the troops home. O.K. so what have we accomplished now? Sure, American blood isn't being spilled, but an untold number of people will die without our support. Do I agree with the reasons we went over there? No. However, we made this mess and we need to be responsible enough to clean it up. If the anti-war people can't understand this, then I'm sorry. Is this war wrong? I would say so, however, we are there now, and there is no need to cry over spilled milk. Let's get the politicians out of running this war and quit using our soldiers as political pawns. Give them a plan, have them follow the plan, and let's leave Iraq with a stable government and a safe environment for it's citizens. We at least owe them that much for disrupting their lives in the way the we have disrupted them. Is there no common sense and decency anymore?

To the guy with the WW I answer
Yeah - worked so well - 20 years later Hitler rose up with the Nazi party and started assimilating Europe - leading us to WW II.
There will never be complete world peace. Ever since the creation of the UN, the answer to establishing World Peace, there has been nearly 200 inter-national, and regional wars, civil wars, and border skirmishes. Many of these were created by acts and decisions by the UN.
It's all a part of keeping people's focus on other issues while the real work to undermine national sovereignty and individual rights carries on. Soon - the other shoe will drop and even the peace activists are going to be freaking out when UN troops are patroling our streets - all in the name of civil order and world peace.
Time to get a clue people - learn about the deception our two mainstream political parties are putting over on the US citizens, in cooperation with the Mass Media. They all belong to the CFR, Council of Foreign relations, the very people that created the UN, and the defunct League of Nations before that.

Unfortunately, no. While it might make some sense for the US military to disengage in certain parts of the world, and bring some troops home, the fact remains that the world has never known "world peace." If the United States was strong enough to bring about this outcome, perhaps it would have done so under administrations such as the one under Jimmy Carter.
People fight for various reasons, including over resources, identity disputes that often times have little to do with the United States. Unfortunately, nothing going on in the international community suggests this is going to change any time soon, even if the US were to begin to disengage tomorrow. It certainly wouldn't solve the problem in the Darfur region of the Sudan, would it?

There will never be World Peace. Even if the US military comes home that is only the United States. The world does not just consist of the United States, so you will have to stop mannny other wars to obtain world peace.

People in warring countries must WANT peace in order to have it. They must learn to compromise and get along with each other. Given that, there will never be world peace, with military intervention or without it, unless the people want it to start with. I don't see the need to get messed up in wars within countries that are split apart by different ethnic groups all of which are unwilling to compromise. It is a waste of human life.

In the total history of man there has never been world peace. There are always conflicts somewhere in the world. To think that someday there will be is delusional and totally ignorant of the REAL world.

Right on!
Besides, they always ignore how many people are kiled on our highways each and every year (more deaths in a single death than ALL OF THE VIETNAM WAR!), how many people are killed by dogs, killed on the job, domestic violence, shot accidentally by the police, and, my favorite, how many die each year due to negligence of doctors, nurses and pharmacists? (the solution is NOT to go digital; that just makes it easier for them to hide their mistakes!)
The liberals pretend they live each and every life; but how many innocents do they kill each year through abortion? Murder is murder!
Also, they conveniently forget the deaths during the 9/11 fiasco.
Let's not forget: keep the military there until the job is DONE!

Are you kidding? You know that "world peace" is as elusive as the abominable snowman or Yete. We've tried negotiating with despots and tyrants but these are crazy idiots who kill their own people for power....and therein lies the dilemma...power corrupts.
Our so called meddling in the Middle East is actually to stablize the region from imploding.

because of the fact he does'nt understand his obstacles. this is what I call the MBA syndrome. He thinks (like something of them) that something may be controlled by employing strategies he picked up in business enterprise college. particular he's a first rate guy at heart , yet on worldwide affairs,has achieved extra harm than solid. Has'nt found out a damned element from historic past. He aint no statesman
