Do you belive in war? Me personnaly i think its OK IF its for a reason not just because people want oil etc. Thats just pathetic and people die for that What are your views?
I think war can be a good thing if used at the right time.
You could always try talking to your enemy first instead of nuking them.
When necessary. Afghanistan, Korea, WWII/WWI...can't say the same with Iraq and Vietnam.
You only include Korea because you know they're an enemy at the moment. A dangerous one, might I add. If Vietnam was threatening to nuke us, I'm sure you'd be adding them too.

I included Korea because it was for a decent reason at the time which did teach us lessons, going to Vietnam we obviously didn't learn much. And Korea isn't an enemy right now, North Korea is.
i believe everything can be solved through diplomacy. Perhaps the world will reach that stage some time in the future when everyone has settled their differences. Wemust belive this is possible to work towards the ideal Food for thought is if you Imagine if all the world were just women. Do you think there would be any wars? Maybe yes but definetly fewer.

I don't think "everything" can be solved through diplomacy, most can but like I said in my article, there won't be peace with everyone at any time unfortunately.
Although men have to do with it I would say a bigger aspect is religion, the amount of wars fought because of religion as a reason or motive is quite large.

War creates more problems than it does solutions. Compassion, as many philosophers and religious prophets tout, tends to work better. Walk a mile in someone else's shoes before you judge them, yadda yadda. It's all the same. The irony is that religions who disagree with one another tend to get in the fights; but I think that is less causal: religion is mostly cultural, and wars tend to be over cultural worldviews or resources.
Anyone heard of Peak Oil?

You must not be a student of history. Diplomacy only goes so far. In fact, WWI was a direct result of diplomatic obligations forcing half of the world into conflict. There were so many treaties signed with the aim of avoiding another war that nations were forced into fighting.
I just can't buy diplomacy as a possibility when I review the course of history. Even in contemporary politics, negotiation is not a universally accepted currency. Do I think we should be in Iraq? No. Do I think we should be in Afghanistan? Yes. Do I think that we could have diplomatically resolved our grievances with the Taliban? Absolutely not. When you try to negotiate with fundamentalists, you will do all of the bending and flexing, and they will do none-after all, God is charging them with a mission, we're just charged with our own developed secular ethics.
And as for the line about women-I thought people swept that Valerie Solanas garbage out the door a long time ago. England didn't stop conquering when Elizabeth and Victoria were running things. Catherine the Great was one of the toughest conquering rulers in Russia. Let's not forget, either, that early matriarchal societies, cultures with priestesses and goddesses were just as prone to go to war and to instigate them as later, patriarchal societies. War is about humanity and our collective tribal nature as a species, not about testosterone or estrogen.
