I watched Miss Congeniality last night, and though the makers exaggerated the world peace thing a bit, it got me thinking. Why, exactly, is world peace a good thing?
*Dramatic pause to let you throw random things around around and yell at me*
I mean, any war could be prevented. Take WW2, for example. If the allies had just surrendered to Hitler, then a war would have been averted. Sure, tons of Jews would have been killed, but it would have prevented a war. The American civil war. If the Union had just let the Confederates have their slaves, we would have had peace, but I doubt slavery is preferable to war. Get my point? Wishing for world peace is essentialy saying "I wish that everybody would leave everybody else alone so they can do whatever hideous thing they want to do so long as they don't bug me."
*Another dramatic pause, to make you think something else is coming, when in reality it's just the credits.
