First to stop wars we must get to the ROOT of the problem.
A Hidden Root Laid Bare
That root is exposed in the Bible. This ancient book reveals that a powerful spirit creature, driven by selfish ambition, raised himself up in opposition to God. (Job 1:6-12; 2:1-7) He is called Satan (meaning, Adversary) the Devil (meaning, Accuser, Slanderer). He introduced sin and death into the human family. (Genesis 3:1-7) Therefore, he is called "the wicked one." He inspired the first lethal assault in human history, that of Cain on Abel.-1 John 3:12; Genesis 4:8.
The Bible also unmasks Satan as "the god of this system of things," the great "dragon" who 'gives power, throne, and great authority' to the global political system of rulership. Jesus Christ boldly pointed out that "the Devil . . . was a manslayer when he began" and described him as "the ruler of the world."-2 Corinthians 4:4; Revelation 12:9; 13:1, 2; John 8:44; 14:30.
However, this lethal root will not last forever. A study of the Bible identifies this present cataclysmic period in human history as the last days of Satan's system of things, which means that "he has a short period of time" left before he and his machinations are stopped cold. The provision for relief from this satanic influence is symbolically described by Jesus' apostle John: "I saw an angel coming down out of heaven with the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. And he seized the dragon, the original serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. And he hurled him into the abyss and shut it and sealed it over him, that he might not mislead the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After these things he must be let loose for a little while."-Revelation 12:12; 20:1-3.
Removing the Burden of Armaments
When the root is put out of action, all its bad influence will cease. To make possible this thousand-year era of restored peace on earth, Jehovah, Almighty God himself, will remove the crushing burden of armaments: "Come, you people, behold the activities of Jehovah, how he has set astonishing events on the earth. He is making wars to cease to the extremity of the earth. The bow he breaks apart and does cut the spear in pieces; the wagons he burns in the fire."-Psalm 46:8, 9.
Millions of people are already preparing themselves to live under such peaceful conditions. Jehovah's Witnesses are already fulfilling this prophecy: "Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war anymore." (Isaiah 2:4) Therefore, they do not take part in any form of armament business. Like Jesus and his disciples, they maintain a strict stand of neutrality on political issues and do not participate in any temporal war or conflict, come what may.-John 17:16.
According to fulfilled Bible prophecy, the time is near when no weapon will be forged for war, when all the earth's resources will be used only for the well-being of its inhabitants. The Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ, the King of all the earth, guarantees this: "He will deliver the poor one crying for help, also the afflicted one and whoever has no helper. He will feel sorry for the lowly one and the poor one, and the souls of the poor ones he will save. From oppression and from violence he will redeem their soul, and their blood will be precious in his eyes." Therefore, rejoice! A world without weapons is soon to be a reality!-Psalm 72:12-14.

How unhappy you're, AGGRESSION? it style of feels to me, if we are such an aggressive united states of america then we'd be like different countries who've attacked the buddies with the purpose of seizing their land. wager that doesn't bypass the try for the U. S.. can no longer remember any united states of america we've taken over. I do remember the U. S. being asked again in to a distinctive united states of america to offer up brutal dictatorships and genocide. i assume, on your view, we would desire to constantly basically enable brutal leaders basically kill their voters. No huge deal, impressive? One worry I even have is, with the present direction of this united states of america, interior the destiny there could be NO remote places potential to help shield some semblance of peace interior the international. As has been reported before, if the U. S. fails, what's to grow to be of the international. Who might have stopped Hitler? Who might have stopped Japan? Who might have stopped Russia? You do comprehend, per comments this week, the U. S. has spent greater money on Stimulus costs than the completed fee of the wars. And what is going to we would desire to constantly coach for that BORROWED money? different than a extensive debt which you will would desire to pay back. would desire to between the solutions be, decrease government SPENDING? Oh, that's loopy communicate. shall we basically save borrowing and spending money we've not got. perhaps its like Monopoly money. Having pronounced all of this, i'm no longer a warfare mongrel. My son is interior the army, been to IRAQ two times. i'd desire to justifiably say, "Get them Out, the hell with those human beings, enable them to homicide one yet another. Is that impressive interior the eyes of God? And from a in basic terms on your funds viewpoint, what do you think of might take place to the international financial equipment if that area of the international falls to terrorist administration and the oil is decrease of? think of it would be corporation as familiar? think of we'd see somewhat drop interior the inventory marketplace? As has been envisioned, how does $15 to $20 a gallon sound? think of that would have an effect on an already suffering financial equipment? See the huge photograph. the international has replaced and we can now no longer think of that we can isolate our self from something of the international.

Only the Kingdom of Jehovah, which Jesus gave us a model prayer by which we ourselves will then learn how to pray to Jehovah, through Jesus our Mediator,1 Timothy 2:5, to Jehovah God, Everyone on the planet knows this one it begins with: Our Father [Jehovah] who lives in heaven, your Kingdom come, Your will be done - the same here on earth as it's done in heaven, help us forgive those we feel have done us wrong, and help them to forgive us. Lead us away from the Tempter, and the Resister, of your Holy Name, so that it may be sanctified on Earth and also in the heavenly places, and help me to remain in your name, with integrity, and with love that you showed us by allowing your precious son Jesus to be our ransomer, of the wrong that Adam, Satan, and Eve did in the Paradise, may the new Paradise come soon, so that we who remain in your name and your witnesses, until the end of this system, in the name of your Son Christ Jesus. Amen
At Jeremiah 10:23, It states "that man in unable to rule himself" We need guidence, through-out history all the different types of governments that man-kind has tried. ALL of THEM FAILED! Our only hope is to turn to the only one that can get us back to where we should be, behavior wise, Some say "Yahweh" which is actually the Tetragrammonton spelled backward, from left to right, the actual Hebrew text is to be read from the right to the left. Which would then be Jehovah, or as close there-about, Jehovah throughout History has been the most used name to signify The Grand Creator of the Universe.

The way to end all wars is for every country to take an inventory of what it has in abundance and to share the resources of the world for there is no reason for millions of people starving in a world of plenty.Maitreya's message to the world is to 'take our brothers need as the measure of our action and solve the problems of the world'. This is the only way to a lasting peace in the world at this time and is the message of the World Teacher at this time as we enter the new age and as well makes perfect sense in our world at this time and will prevent another world war which could destroy all life on this globe.Shareing is the answer to the problems of our world at this time as we all enter the new age of enlightenment.Love and the brotherhood of all mankind is the answers to the problems to our world at this time .

The only solution to stop wars is to have righteousness and charity [meaning the pure love of Christ] cover the land rather than petty arguments of pride. and here's the sticking point: righteousness and charity can't be imposed -- they must be chosen. The wicked take the truth to be hard and revile it, often with violence. War will not cease upon the earth until the Savior returns and all recognize Him. Man comes up short.

Yes, the ordinary people have a chance to revolt...everyone knows that but again, that could cause more bloodshed. Its the elite, not the everyday Joe, that is calling the shots...money and a chance to prove ones power I guess.
Peace can be achieved through non-violent means...but obviously the people in control of a country declaring war on another is only putting their people at risk too.
If people don't have a voice...then war will always prevail.

End the selfish actions and no one has a reason to go to war.
In reality, we will never stop war.
In Iran, we will assassinate Ahmadinejad, incite mass riots to denounce the US, someone will bring out the nuke, which will hit somewhere on the Eastern seaboard of the US, and we will then obliterate the entire country (Iran) - some bombs, but mostly biological weapons so that all the people will die, but the oil derricks will not be destroyed.
I have foreseen it.

We don't hold our leaders accountable when they decide to wage war. When we went to war with Iraq there was barely a whisper of dissent.
We should spend more time engaging those we are in conflict with. When Ahmadinejad was here, our President should have met with him and at least attempted diplomacy. It was an opportunity wasted.

Man will mess up a one car funeral.
Only Jehovah God can put an end to wars. He will have His Day and all will know He is Jehovah.

I think that citizens in countries around the globe have pretty much lost control of their governments. Government seem to get away with doing what they want by brainwashing , lies and hype. It is a sign of the times. As it is written in the book of Jeremiah, " Peace ,,, Peace, but there will be no peace until the Prince of Peace ( the real Christ ) returns.

Man should be now mature enough to solve their differences through dialog,
Eliminating the religions will not solve the problems,
But we should engage our religious scholars in dialog,they may perhaps find better ways leading towards "peace full coexistence.
