    Si vis pacem, para bellum.

    If you wish for peace, prepare for war.
    So said the Romans over 2,000 years ago.

    More recently, Gandhi wanted to promote peace through cowardice and appeasement. Had the world heeded Gandhi's words, we would all be Nazis today.

    Then there is the infamous "Peace in our time" cowardly appeasement by Neville Chamberlain. You can google Neville Chamberlain and see a picture of him waving the nice little piece (peace) of paper signed by Adolph Hitler, promising to make nice.

    Those who promote "peace" should be expected to leave their residence doors open, never locking them. Ditto for their car doors.

    Trust people. Yeah, right.

    hmm I agree with you, except Ghandi did not promote weakness. He bargined always using the combined power of millions of people. I was certainly not cowardly to face weapons with non-violent methods.

    nietzschefan, but he was dealing with the British, and for all of that, they do have a higher standard in dealing with people than Hitler and the Nazi's, I do not think Ghandi would have gotten very far in dealing with Hitler and the Nazi Regime in Germany.

    Yes your right about that, nonviolence is a good tool to combat injustice in so-called democracies however.

    There are very few people in the world who will attack a man who's armed to the teeth ....with swords, knives, handguns, rifles, machine guns, submachine guns, grenades, atom bombs,........ People just don't fuck with a person who's armed like that.

    Peace will never be accomplished in the human existence because if there are 10 billion people at peace, but only one who is "evil", then "evil" one will win.

    The only way the peaceful people can win is by turning against their ideals of peace and using "evil" to fight "evil". In which case, there is no peace.

    there will never be world peace unless you get rid of some people, and obviously that's wrong

    If everyone was peaceful, there would have been no Nazi Germany. Hence, no Nazis.

    And just exactly what was the long term benefit of fighting WWII??? The Europeans ended up with Stalin instead of Hitler. The Asians ended up with Mao instead of Hirohito. Is there some warped book of values someplace that explains why that was an improvement, so that it was worth the lives of somewhere between twenty and sixty million people?

    I understand that sometimes you have to fight a battle to preserve freedom. But I also understand that you have to choose your battles wisely. It does not seem to me that the battles of the twentieth century were chosen wisely. And so far the twenty-first is off to an incredibly bad start as well.

    Why? Isn't peace more important than freedom?

    From your post, you seem to think so, which is why I asked the question of you. You would have been content to allow Hitler to rule Europe ...as long as there was peace, right?

    Another thing that's interesting in what you said ..."...to preserve freedom." Does that mean only one's own freedom or to preserve the freedom of others, too? I.e., would you permit friends to help others preserve their freedom?

    Freedom for the militant Iraqis to kill other free Iraqis! See? Ain't freedom a wonderful thing?

    We also need to preserve the freedom of people like What-his-name Cho so he can be free to go around killing other free people in colleges. Ain't freedom a wonderful thing? And shouldn't we fight war to keep and preserve those freedoms?

    Like I said, there is no freedom in America. There is only freedom when you bow and kiss the many asses of America's powerful and rich.

    People look to america as an example of how to run their country, that's why they are unsuccessful. What country has seriously benefited from America's 'peaceful spread of democracy'?
