Politicians,bureaucrats,terrorists who wage war are few.Peaceloving people are many.Why does war persist?

Question

Why is the voice of the majority of humanity not heard or heeded ? How can we, ordinary people, change the war - mongering and bomb - loving governments ?

Answer 1

So long as humans continue to exhibit their
weakness to show their strength and superiority
over fellow humans wars will be waged.
However peace loving one may be,there is always a bully round the corner waiting to test
how far he can go withour fear of retaliation.We
need to learn to live with these bullies whose
bluff may be called by someone who appears weak but is really a tiger waiting to spring.

Answer 2

Silent Majority is always ruled by vocal and active minority. This situation in the history of mankind was created in the past and the same process was ultimately routed out by the majority in a voilent way when all other means failed to stop this.
The answer to how the peaceloving majority can stop this crime against humanity , lies in , how the majority become vocal to rouse the consciousness among the mass to create sufficient effective pressure on the War-Mongers to listen to the public protests and outrage against such actions and ventilate the opinion of the mass through various media.......by forming some Pressure Groups consisting of peaceloving people.
It will be a good idea if an International Peaceloving Peoples' Forum is formed with a single Agenda to come out in the streets to put pressure on the Politicians, Bureaucrats and the Terrorists to follow the civilised process of sorting out all disputes through peaceful means.
If the Majority cannot act properly at the right time , I am afraid, that the History will take its natural course of action to eradicate these stupid acts of the few who are misutilising their power against humanity.That will be with lot of bloodshed and countless killings.
I believe, "history of mankind" never stops as "silent spectator" for eternity and does behave like "wild river" , even if some barriers are created to stop the flow of water.That river will finally overflow flooding all over and creating more devastation which could be avoided by using the force of water of a violent and rough river by channelising the same in a proper mannerfor very useful purposes.
Now is the time to act positively by the silent majority......wherever possible, through Ballots/Protests..........or else, we may be too late.

Answer 3

I think that wars are somehow centered around economic reasons, other agendas that have nothing to do with hating others.
One reason I think the voices of humanity aren't heard, is because of the chaos and stress that is created during times of war. Instead of joining together as a "community whole" so to speak, people focus on so many other distractions, they aren't paying attention to the core things going on. They aren't reaching out, they are instead turning against one another. This to me is another form of war in itself, created in effect by a military war taking place. I also think many just begin to feel helpless at some point in it all and don't think there is anything they can do to bring about a more peaceful, united world.
The power of love in truth, I think is the greatest weapon against all of the warring taking place everywhere. Love is nothing less than goodness, and truth speaks for itself, can't be argued or fought against. It's just incredibly hard for people to be a 'community whole' when there is so much distraction of chaos and stress created.
It might sound like a simple 'utopia' thought process, but I believe that the ordinary people do the most extraordinary things, love in truth being the most powerful.
Unfortunately, I am no longer sure that such things are possible when there is so much greed, dislike and every other what not going on around the world. It's almost like a massive roller coaster ride, people are trying to put on the brakes, and they just aren't working.

Answer 5

Because War serves the vested interests who are much more powerful than the combined voices of peace loving masses. The arms manufacturers, politicians and religious fanatics have now formed an unholy nexus and unless this nexus is broken there can never be a lasting peace in the world.

Answer 6

Peace loving people are the majority but peace loving people who would allow those who do not love peace to attack, conquer and rule them do not last long. I do not think that AQ is a government but a collection of fanatics and there are many other groups the same way. Peace loving people will not rule long as long as some people will use or prefer violence to spread their beliefs or maintain/gain power unless other people are willing to protect them. Peace loving people may be a majority or humanity but not by much if at all; too many people want what some one else has and will do what ever they think is necessary to gain it because they want it.

Answer 7

The voice of logic prevails. For most nations on this earth, the US Absolutley included, we want nothing more than world peace. But the reality of the world does not allow it. As long as their are people who believe in Power, Oppressing their opponents, and do not respect that human life is prescious, we can never have peace. As long as these people walk the earth, I will always have a job in confronting them.

Answer 8

War means profits for the top 1%ers

Answer 9

As long as there is greed, anger, jealously, hunger of power and just mean spirited people, there will be Waring Countries

Answer 10

1. Because peace loving majority gives power to politicians to protect peace and harmony.
2. Politicians by virtue of this power misuse it to satisfy their own ego needs and ambitions.
3. Wars happen due to greed and stupidity of few people on top.
4. The majority is helpless because they have given the power and authority to their leaders who then use this power to silence the voice of majority.
5. Sooner or later the elected leaders do face the consequences of their actions but in that meantime a huge majority has also suffered.

Bottomline : Power should be given with effective checks and a reign so that any such violent excess can be stopped if needed at any point.
