Peace: Writing Assing. 3 Draft 3

What about peace? Do we really need peace? Do we really want peace? Why is it so important to us? Peace is something humans could never have. It is the most unreliable world in the English language.
A word that doesn't make any sense at all. World issues can never be solved in a peaceful way. When the Treaty of Versailles was set up to maintain world peace; it did not work. One country after another dropped out of it. Eventually we ended up with the World War II. With it came more jobs, more power, and more suppression. Between World War I and World War II we had the time of the great depression, the time of peace, the time good for no one. Even now, how many problems can you think of that have been solved in a peaceful manor. After 9/11, there was no negotiation with the Taliban or any other government in the Middle East. We just went in there and bombed the daylights out of them. Do you think we really have restored peace? It doesn't matter to us how many innocent people we kill to get something called "peace." It has been seven years since that horrible day when the planes were crashed into the twin towers. That day did not only change the lives of many Americans but also changed the meaning of Peace. Now Peace means "I am going to kill you before you kill me."
People are forgetting the real meaning of Peace. The meaning that God gave us as a present. In Pakistan for example, the Taliban are killing hundreds of innocent people, because of a decision that the government made. The decision to fight back. The decision to create even more wars. These problems could have been solved through negotiation with other side, but our governments didn't want that. They are afraid of a peaceful world. People want peace, but they don't have the power to have it. It is our government who does not want peace. It is them who have forgotten the real meaning of peace. It is because of them that the word "Peace" no longer makes any sense. They are the ones who have separated Jews from Christians and Christians from Muslims. No one likes war, no one likes regression either, but the people who benefit form the uproar of the wars want it to stay. Those people are the ones who we elect to lead our lives. The ones who have the power because of us. They like seeing the blood shed from the veins of their own people. They are the enemies of peace. Without them we would have no culture, no tradition, no race, and no religion. We would all be humans. We would all be the same. There would be nothing to fight about. We would have no reason to have the word peace. We would have it like we have air, water, and sunlight. We would be human.
