No Robert, peace is good...
but peace doesn't come cheap. Peace comes through strength, respect, and a little fear on the part of those who would harm us. To say that we can have peace in a chaotic world by unilaterally disarming, is to not understand history, Human nature, or nature in general.
To quote from some of the greatest minds of history.
A wise man in times of peace prepares for war - Horace
He is best secure from dangers who is on his guard even when he seems safe - Publilius Syrus
We make war so that we may live in peace - Aristotle
When there is mutual fear, men think twice before they make aggression upon one another - Hermocrates
Great empires are not maintained by timidity - Tacitus
Against danger it pays to be prepared - Aesop
We may like to think we're more evolved now, but things haven't changed much through the Ages.
