can world peace be achieved by talking, understanding, and excepting each other and our differences?

First step: If you can not understand one another: than try. Without ignorance or without discrimination. I think tolerance is key.\n\nSecond step: start viewing each other as human beings above all. I do not judge you. Don't judge me.  I respect you for your beliefs because you have the right to follow whatever path you want.  Respect me. I respect you.  \n\nThen maybe we can all just get along.  (god willing)

It is entirely impossible for there to be world peace on this earth. No matter how hard you try, there will always be somebody that refuses to obey the rules. Human instinct.

so many have tried, more have failed. It is not in human nature to be tolerant and we allwant to control the other. So Alas, peace and understanding wil never happen , for each culture has its own rules and values and we are subjective to our perception to even come to an understanding of how an other cultre functions. Even the slightest difference in your states can cause conflicts... look at the juridical differences between states... \ndo I need to say more? \nWe wish and hope that is what thrives within us.

Certainly. In fact, if ALL religions were equally respected or if ALL religions were equally non-existant, we would have a LOT more peace than we do now.

Child of God, yes -- if we could all learn to think of each other with hearts filled with kindness, compassion, and understanding -- this world would be a much better place.\n\nDo I believe that WE can make that happen?  No.  Because evil and hatred are very real, and we can't defeat them by ourselves.\n\nIt doesn't mean, though, that we should give up trying.  Perhaps each of us can make "our little corner of the world" a little better by treating each other with courtesy and respect.  Peace !

How can we make peace permanent instead of a space between wars?

Not only the citizens of these two countries, rather the whole  world community must create pressure socially,  politically and diplomatically on both US & Iran to be tolerant & keep themselves away from any violence with mutual respect to each other. \nPeople across the world are more powerful than the war mongers, because its always the people who make history & shape the civilization. \nIts needless to mention that, many a times  the key individuals/groups steering the government, go against the people and take decissions in their won way of doing things, which is neither desirable nor acceptable, not only to the peolple who elected them, but also to the total mankind. \nCivil socities, intellectuals, professionals, human rights groups with the common people and medias, therefore, can definitely play the most important role by presenting their thoughts & views in any crisis that threatens human civilization and world peace. \nWe must remember, united we stand, devided we fall. \nSo, unity of the people across the world and their desire for peace is of prime iportance right at the moment. \nWe all must raise our voice to the same tune for world peace and for the protection of our hard earned civilization. Otherwise, the planet we all are living in through ages, will inevitably run in to a blackhole.

World peace is a misnomer. There has always been war on the earth, and there will be war long after we are gone from it. It is a sad truth that war is part of human nature. I would love it if the whole world could get along, but let's be honest, most of can't even get along with our neighbors and co-workers, much less the rest of the world.

We have accomplished higher and higher levels of peace, from family to tribe, from tribe to city state, from city state to nation and federation.\nNow we are learning how to reach world peace. Lessons have been learned through the Holy Books; means are ready with wonderful systems of world transportation and communication, world fora and world Conventions...; the final step is just a little more of patient practice.

The world will never be world peace. As long as there is lust, greed, and fear, war will exist. These are all an unfortunate part of human nature. There are those among us who feel that the only good war is one fought with words, but we are a small minority.

The United Nations is a debating society, and cannot agree on hardly anything.  How would we define "the world community?"  And how would YOU define the Kashmir issue?

It might work for some situations, but for many world conflicts, "no." A lot of the world violence problems are power issues...not differences in belief systems...either the desire to have power/control over others or the desire to attain wealth/power.

If mankind were meant to be perfect, we would resolve the world's problems in non-violent, diplomatic ways that would benefit all parties involved. Hell, if mankind were meant to be perfect, there would BE no terrorism or conflict. Too bad we aren't. In the meantime, I do agree with you, but there's nothing to be done, so unless you want to start one of hundreds of strikes that I'm sure are taking place all around the world against wars and everything - all of which are going unanswered, I must say - then I suggest that you deal, for we will never find a way out until we strive for the path of good.

You're right. If we all tolerated each other this world would be a much better place. We all need to realize we're not perfect and we can't expect anyone else to be and that we were all created different and have had different experiences in life. We're bound to take things differently... We ought to tolerate each other as far as things that have no effect on each other are concerned. For example, we can never tolerate thieves in society, no matter what the reason, coz their stealing affects people other than themselves. Intolerance caused the Holocaust... I believe the person who coined the phrase "Variety is the spice of life" was quite right.

That's an impossible idea to realise. Better is that leaders of peoples meet each other and also and perhaps more people meet each other to learn to live in this world and to respect the different cultures and history's and religions.\nThe ideal is that we make for all people a better world!
