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.
