Peacemaking and Community

I am a republican on this site. I am not here to troll nor spread my beliefs. I am here to learn from my peers who have a different view than I.

As a Republican people would assume that i am a pro war nut. however the people of both parties (the ones with sense) want to see an end to war. however, regrettably. war is in human nature. in order to remove war from the world, just being anti-war wont cut it in the end. the issues that cause people to resort to war must be fixed. Diplomacy is one of the best ways to prevent the slippery slope to war. Diplomacy, with all it's merit can fail however. for two states to not go to war with each other both sides need to try to avoid war, not just one. An example would be that all the appeasement in the world would not stop Hitler from starting WWII because it was already set into his mind, however the Soviet Union and the United States, which such bitter hatred for each other. did everything in their power to prevent a war because of the threat of nuclear war. my point being however, is that Americans being anti-war isnt enough. Anti-war needs to spread on a global level. I wish to see the day when the world experiences a true worldwide antiwar movement.

@no more war, i understand where you are coming from when you feel that america should not have been involved in the Korean war. in my college i am part of the group Liberty in North Korea (LiNK) which fund raises to help the refugees escape from North Korea. From my view, If american involvement prevented south Korea from being in the same condition as North Korea, as when America joined the war, South Korea was on the brink of defeat, i feel that the sacrifice of the brave men and women who gave thier lives to protect south Korea were not in vain. As being older and more experienced than I, I would like to here what you have to say on the matter as you probably know more than I.

If somebody agrees or disagrees with me please say something. I want to hear what other people want to say.
