Hi there, \n\nThe Second World War went on for 6 years from 1939 - 1945.\nIt caused a great man and machine loss for the humanity. People suffered, rich countries turned poor, poor countries turned poorer, and the poorer countries had nothing left after the war.\n\nrule wid style n luv@vinny

Well, if enough idiots start posting this latest conspiracy theory on Yahoo Answers, all the young people who frequent this place will eventually start to believe that World War 2 never happened.\n\nWe've seen this already with the Moon landing "hoax" theory, and 9/11 conspiracy, so I'm sure it's just around the corner for these mental midgets.

There is never any justification to killing innocent civilians. It is an unfortunate happenstance when your country is at war. Why there is a war is a topic that you can argue far longer than I want to get in thank you. I do believe the U.S. should be there. We are the greatest nation the world has ever known and we should be a factor in the worlds development. Where would the world be if we didn't send troops to Europe after Hitler? We need to be involved in helping the world. No one ever thanks us for the Billions we send for Humanitarian efforts - and we need to be involved there also. Take care, Dan

World peace from Iraq?  Are you serious?  If achieving world peace was that easy... well... it isn't.

Friend - Liberal here, and pacifist.  Though much of war is ugly and sad, yes, good does come of wars.  There are the thousand little good things that happen every day...friendships made, some one lost is found, a child smiles...and the greater good, such as the end of the reign of Hitler...and yes, even of Saddam.  I am also a pragmatic liberal pacifist who realizes there will be wars as long as man lives on earth to wage them, just as there always has been.  Whether the good outweighs the bad, I cannot say.  Ask me when my son is safely home from Iraq for the last time...and do not be so quick to predict what a liberal will say.  Grace and Peace

The possibilty exits for WWIII. Recent happenings around the world suggest and actually point to this dreadful fact. Hunger, famine and instability in Africa, terrorism and civil unrest in Europe and the overbearing and meddlesome attitude of America in everybody's affairs all point to the possibility of a 3rd world war.

What does "World Peace" mean to you?\n\nReally... I mean, they all seem to want it. It would be nice to know what they actually think it is, wouldn't you say?\n\nGoodluck!

No, because everyone would actually want world peace. 9/11, the embassy bombings, the Cole, London, Spain.... these show clearly, that peace is not at the forefront of the enemies mind. \n\nSo, no.

You should do more research on the UN. They don't get any publicity when they are successful. They have prevented many civil wars since the 70's, such as Crete, Haiti, etc.

The problem with "world peace" is in the definition from culture to culture.  Different cultures have different views on "peace".  Many in Western Cultures view "world peace" as a utopia where armed forces are never needed and we all work together for the common cause of advancing Humanity and self-fullfillment.  The minority Whahabbists Islam sect (Taliban/Al Qeada's brand of Islam) views "world peace" as everyone with dissenting views is dead or enslaved.  A Serb may view "peace" as having no living Bosnians or Kosovar Albainians alive and vice-versa.  Hitler's view of "world peace" was having no Jews... Oddly this is the same view many "anti-war" protesters share according to their writings and protest signs.\n\nIt is a sad fact that most of the world is increadibly cuturally ignorant.  The "Blame America" crowd makes one believe this is a problem unique to the USA, but it is not.  Far too many in the world are willfully ignorant of other cultures.  Oddly enough, or maybe not, the US Military is spending large sums of money to teach service members to be fluent in other languages (Rossetta Stone) and training in other cultures.  This, in turn, causes mission overseas to be more successfull and builds better friendships.  Though it will take time for this to fully come into play.\n\nSo the biggest problem is the lack of a common definition of "world peace".  If the world cannot even agree on a definition for "peace", then it will be difficult to attain.  Unfortunatly, it may take an influence outside humanity for us to unite (an asteroid strike, truly massive natural devistation, or some such factor, and then the unification would only last for a short while).

One piece at a time.  (Sorry!)  Seriously; world peace comes from individuals having peaceful intentions.  It helps when the individuals are world leaders, but you know what leaders are like.  They take a survey of what the public wants, then tell them what they want.  So when enough people make the point that they are sick and tired of putting their lives and fortunes on the line for foreign wars, we will have peace.
