Peace can never be achived in Violence, so all wars for peace are in vein if that is truly the purpose. Peace is a refutation of violence, to enter an act of violence would contradict the meaning of peace in it's mere initiation.

You can't fight for peace at all, for even the word fight implies violence. One must love and educate for peace, for peace is an idea and violence will never be a bringer of ideas but only of arbritrary rules and doctrine. This was the problem with all revolutions in history, that the rebels always initiated violence to promote ideas, yet the greater populations ideas were not fundamentely changed. For example, after the american revolution they wanted to make George Washington a King. Although the founders had great ideas of individuality and peace, the battle for those ideas was not one of weapons but one of education and love, it's these things that transfer ideas.

An act of violence can prevent an act of violence, but even an absence of violence is not peace. Peace is a complete revolution from the concept of violence which can only achieved inside individually like any idea and spread through your words and actions.

Peace is internal, Violence is External

To find peace, you must reject the external violence around you and live
