well we all live in our "own worlds"

Fighting is not peacekeeping in My World

These days you are either For War (pro)

or

Against War (anti)

Just pushing the peace agenda on my end!

"turn the other cheek" (new testament)

(latest "word up" from Jesus, which supersedes your quote)

My favorite one for "pro war" kind of people is

"thou shall not kill"

peace ~joe

Don't know anyone who is pro war per sey, but I have met some who believe in an eye for an eye, or not to turn the other cheek, as well as those who are thier brothers keeper and do what they can to protect those who cannot protect themselves. They are the peacekeepers in my world.

Say to the nations far and wide: "Get ready for war! Call out your best warriors! Let all your fighting men advance for the attack! Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears. Train even your weaklings to be warriors. Come quickly, all you nations everywhere! Gather together in the valley."

Blessed are the peacemakers

Can it be broken down any simpler?

Peace is not a privilege

I agree, but they carry m-16s and m-4s and kill those who would otherwise kill people who want peace.

[raultalbot7]

Let him who desires peace....prepare for war.

One has to believe that these people have been so privilaged and so protected in life that they believe that peace is a natural phenomena occuring from the love in our hearts. And if only they could spread the love we could all be the same. Nice idea, you only have to convince the Hitlers and terrorists of the world that its true.

[showe55]

This argument is nihlistic and totally ignores the capability of human beings to negotiate and work out their differences. Leaders of the world need to have the ability to talk to one another and become informed about other cultures as a part of their mandate. It seems that proposals for peaceful alternatives to conflict in world history are soon forgotten once the blood bath option is taken.

[gerry301]

There also seems to be those who do not believe in the process and try to tear it down. Negotiation with these groups is difficult because they are fighting for thier ideal world and they have many different leaders willing to take up the cause. Just when peace is made with one group others try to derail or destroy the peace. Someone at sometime has to use force to end the killing and force those who do not want peace to give up thier cause.

[zebra334]

we are trying to convince the terrorist....

let me reiterate...

"George Bush And Dick Cheney Please remove yourselves from office and turn your selves in for war crimes"

"President Bush You are acting exactly how a terrorist would act like"

You either spread LOVE or You spread HATE.

Color it any way you want it is as simple as Love or Hate. nothing about privileges or phenomena's
