Peace vrs War
I like discussions where people express opposite opinions and try to defend and ground their ideas. But as to this topic, I want to believe you will not be opposite to my point of view that is: I hate war and violence. I can accept 18th-19th century wars for division of the world territories, wars for colonies' liberation, American war for Independence and some others.

Of course it's a very controversial issue.
It's very good to hear your opinion here, so feel free to share!
I agree with Bill the English Teacher on the point that peace making is an issue that is quite dependent on each individual. We can certainly impact others and this will all eventualyly add up and help people keep the world tolerant and peaceful.
As long as human nature has its greedy side, as well as intolerance, ignorance, fearfulness and selfishness, violence and war will be with us in various parts of the world. I feel I am neither a pessimist nor an optimist, but a realist who hopes for good and peace. Peace starts with each individual and adds up when all our efforts are counted. So I think I try to encourage tolerance, knowledge, openness, altruism and courage in my small circle that I call my life. As an individual I cannot affect the whole world, but I can certainly be a peace-maker within the influence I have on others around me.
