Peace
Which do you prefer?
NUMBER 1 ?
Scarcity
Or
NUMBER 2 ?
Plenty
(How Might We Achieve #2 in both cases - my opinion = below the fold)
Someone Has Said = it is easier to destroy than it is to create.
Can we shift that paradigm?
What would happen if the UN secured an area ( cease fire ) and aid was brought in for both sides of a conflict (or all sides as a lot of this shit is multi-factional).
And Then - treat the causes of most conflicts
(? ALL Conflicts ?) = scarcity of resources.
The aid being provided is to be infrastructure (not weapons) =
Wind Turbine electricity production ( the equipment and training on how to use and maintain and a supply of basic maintenance parts and equipment ) - Access to water = wells and or desalinization plants and or water treatment plants (powered by the wind turbines or solar cells or fuel cell or combination and include
power storage batteries so that the power being generated does not need to be used immediately or be lost but instead can be saved/stored for later use as needed). Providing these things - including education/training on the use and maintenance - could well solve many frictions - could remove strife that causes armed conflicts for resources.
Education and training must include - how to best farm/transform the land = PERMALCUTURE
This must be accompanied with a hearts and minds education effort for the populations of whole areas/countries/regions/continents - educating on these new supports for society to use for food production and to power hospitals and schools and to provide plentiful clean water. While using their own religious beliefs in the communications - that support acceptance and good fellowship with all - that support doing good works and living in peace. The populations need to be shown clearly the benefits of getting along and the prosperity ( home food clothing health etc ) that will be created by getting along - to put the lie to those who continually call for violence.
The vicious cycle of competition for scarce resources must be ended.
One can not bomb ones way to peace
