"War is the most primitive and destructive means of resolving conflict, and will never lead to lasting peace" Sun Myung Moon
A video appeared in Facebook saying, "A civilization that spends more money on war than on education and peace is anything but civilized."
Thinking of the hundreds of billions spent on war I could immediately picture the enormous potential of using these finances for peaceful purposes; education of heart and conscience, global projects for peace, green off-grid water and energy for the suffering regions and so on, and so on.
Just imagine if the world leaders grow up to that maturity and realization, how fast the world will be transformed into the desired ideal of God's Kingdom.

"When you actively create goodness, the good environment will absorb the evil environment.. No matter the environment that comes next, no matter the waves that rage, if there are enough people whose faith prevails.." Sun Myung Moon, CBG
This means that we have to project goodness if we want to change the environment towards good. But it's so easy to loose faith that that's gonna work. Yet, arming and threatening others with power is not the alternative. Investing in arming ourselves, we create environment for the need of war, the need of enemy. It becomes industry that needs customers. It creates the conditions to invite evil, not unity and peace.

Money Wasted on War
The age of resolving conflicts through war is finished
This is why Rev. Sun Myung Moon proclaimed in his Peace Message, that the age of resolving conflicts through war is finished and "Humankind should end the perverse cycle of war," and start using these "enormous sums of money" for building "the kingdom of the peaceful world," otherwise we are "traveling down a dead-end street":

"Think of how much money the world is wasting on war. Humanity needs to realize that we are committing fearful sins in the presence of history and our descendants."
"In this age, war is the most primitive and destructive means of resolving conflict, and will never lead to lasting peace. Now is the time.. to beat our swords into ploughshares and spears into pruning hooks. Humankind should end the perverse cycle of war, which only sacrifices the lives of our children and squanders enormous sums of money. The time has come for the countries of the world to pool their resources and advance toward the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world desired by God, the Master of this great universe."
"Humanity is traveling down a dead-end street. The only way to survive is to practice my teaching: the peace philosophy of true love, true life and true lineage. Now that we have entered the era after the coming of heaven, your good ancestors are activated and the heavenly hosts are sweeping down upon the earth. Soon the countries and peoples that appear strong and mighty will change course and shift in this direction." Sun Myung Moon, Peace Message I
Giving love and living for the sake of others is the best defense. Once you are in God's love you don't need to worry, Bible says. Those who are afraid and self protecting are those whose conscience tells them that they still have walls in their hearts.
The School of Love
Establishing True Families, True Society and a Peaceful World
As Rev. Moon said, God eagerly looks to find such a person who can "take on this responsibility... wholeheartedly, exploding with love over the capital city of Satan," because "Love transcends all national borders, for God’s love knows no boundaries." Sun Myung Moon, CSG p.323
"Our hearts compel us to move forward to the place of ultimate truth. In the end, our hear determine everything about us." Sun Myung Moon, 1959.04.12
True society and nations cannot appear without true families. Family is the 'School of Love' and the 'cornerstone' of the ideal society. The only way to end crime, corruption and immorality is not through external force, but through expanding the culture of true families.
"I will take the lead in establishing true families, true societies, true nations and the true kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world. Will you join me as I rise and gain strength in accordance with heavenly fortune? Or will you remain captive behind the same old walls, all of them Satan’s handiwork—the wall of your religion, the wall of your culture, the wall of your nationality and the wall of your race—and spend the remainder of your time on earth in agony and regret?" Sun Myung Moon, Peace Message I
Revolutionary Project for Peace
The divisions of our world were wrought by Satan. God is warning us that He will no longer tolerate separation and division.
Rev. Moon initiated the project of building an International Peace Hhighway to connect the world as a single community; tear down the man-made walls of race, culture, religion and country, and bind the world together as one village:
"This project is for the sake of the establishment of the kingdom of peace.. God’s homeland and original hometown. From the historical point of view, the divisions of our world into East and West, North and South were wrought by Satan.
I am proposing that we build a passage for transit across the Bering Strait that separates the North American and Russian land-masses. This passage, which I call the “World Peace King Bridge-Tunnel,” will link an international highway system that will allow people to travel on land from Africa’s Cape of Good Hope to Santiago, Chile, and from London to New York, across the Bering Strait, connecting the world as a single community.
God is warning us that He will no longer tolerate separation and division. Carrying out this project will bind the world together as one village. It will tear down the man-made walls of race, culture, religion and country, and establish the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world that has been God’s cherished desire.
The United States and Russia can become as one. The European Union, China, India, Japan, Brazil and all nations, and also the world’s religions, can combine their energies to make this project succeed. The success of this project will be decisive in establishing the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world, where people will no longer make war on each other.
Some may doubt that such a project can be completed. But where there is a will, there is always a way—especially if it is the will of God. The science and technology of the twenty-first century render it possible to construct a tunnel under the Bering Strait. The construction costs are also not a problem. Think of how much money the world is wasting on war.. Let us take one example. How much money has the United States spent on the war in Iraq during the past three years? It is approaching $200 billion. That budget would be more than enough to complete the Bering Strait project." Sun Myung Moon, Peace Message I
