People want peace, not bombs

The way out for ensuring everlasting peace is not through bombs, but by imparting justice. Only those nations that have the moral courage and standing can be considered as probables to play any positive role in world peace or to command respect of other nations for implementing peaceful settlements for decades to come. Everlasting peace cannot be implemented without observing process of justice or resolving genuine grievances of the parties involved. The conflicting parties may only abide by settlements that appear fair and just or are delivered at the hands of nations that appear clean in their deeds and intentions. With so much manipulation and self-interest involved in the contemporary (dirty) wars e.g. Afghanistan, Iraq and then Libya, the world has become the most unstable place that one would have liked to see. As the sense of fairness and justice has become shattered, people have resorted to violence to prevent further exploitation.

Unfortunately, while corporate and military interests drive the powerful and the influential nations, it has eroded their credibility and moral standing to impact peaceful settlements. They have used tools of coercion and / or bribing the ruling elite of their satellite states to impact change which has alienated the affected people from their rulers and created an environment of anarchy in the already troubled countries. While such states remain unstable and volatile they cultivate seeds of hatred, crime and further conflicts which are costing lives and eating up world resources. It is high time that we the people understand the equation of peace and make our voice heard in impacting policies of our respective nations so that we see things move towards everlasting peace.
