You may gain temporary appeasement by a policy of concession to violence, but you do not gain lasting peace that way.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Peace does not mean just to stop wars, but also to stop oppression and injustice.
Peace as a goal is an ideal which will not be contested by any government or nation, not even the most belligerent.
You don't make peace with your friends. That's the bottom line. You end conflicts by trying to find some political resolution.
To defeat the aggressors is not enough to make peace durable. The main thing is to discard the ideology that generates war.
A war can perhaps be won single-handedly. But peace - lasting peace - cannot be secured without the support of all.
Peace is not wimpy. It's about sitting down and negotiating with people you hate. Ultimately, all occupation ends, and you have to deal with the enemy.
You cannot make peace with terrorists. The normal dividing lines between war and peace do not apply.
A peace is of the nature of a conquest; for then both parties nobly are subdued, and neither party loser.
So long as there is imperialism in the world, a permanent peace is impossible.
You can only end a negotiation for peace if you begin it.
