Being honest what you have said is a future idle situation and only a few saner people would want it from both the sides. Every one wants peace and economic growth, however the hatred blinds them completely.
Arms are very important in today scenario and for the foreseeable future it will be true as it has been for soo many years. Like "Plautus" said once "Wise men prepare for war during peace" , as war can happen any time and no country wants to be France during the phony war of WW2. Both the government want eventual peace as irrespective of whoever is elected as as Democracy would want people to go forward and avoid wars. It's the people who have to change and the best way is education. I have repeatedly said that both Pakistan and India should invest heavily on schools and I somehow believe India is doing better, however we have still a long way to go.
Put the guns into our hands and
we will use them. Give us the
slogans and we will turn them
into reality. Sing the battle hymns
and we will take them up where you left
off. Not one not ten not ten thousand not a
million not ten millions not a hundred
millions but a billion 4 billions of us all
the people of the world we will have the
slogans and we will have the hymns and we
will have the guns and we will use them
and we will live. Make no mistake of it we
will live. We will be alive and we will walk
and talk and eat and sing and laugh and feel
and love and bear our children in
tranquility and security in decency in
peace. You plan the wars you masters of
men plans the wars and point the way and
we will point the gun.
