All countries

All countries have varied desires for and inhibitors to peace

. Need for peace initiatives to avoid escalation to nuclear war is an

overriding_concern

. Achieving peace is far more complex and difficult than waging war

. Can US government succeed in achieving peace as a global police

force when faced with the existing level of complexity and divergent

goals of various countries?

. Is it possible to achieve global education for peace and if so, how?

. Will "human nature" accept global peace in the foreseeable future?
