Men start all wars, not God, Why is it so hard for men to understand this instead of blaming their God for what they suffer because of war.

AMEN! As Ruby Thewes said (from Cold Mountain) They call this war a cloud over the land. But they made the weather and then they stand in the rain and say ‘Sh&t, it’s raining!’

One must be strong to be as peace, methinks.

I am not sure that mere understanding is the key. Just because I understand you does not mean that I will keep the peace. If you have done something that threatens me, I may understand why, but I may also feel the need to protect myself by force. In Freedom and Neurobiology, John Searle said that without the police and the military you can have no government.

In football there is a saying, the best offense is a good defense.
In wisdom, there are proverbs to act swiftly to end strife before it begins.
I believe the point of this article is to emphasize we need to both an offensive to pursue peace before beginning a war and a good defense in case of war.
The reality of life is that a policeman in sight is a wise deterrent to defend and his presence may prevent a foolish action.

I didn’t know there was anything more than a photo and a caption regarding the term “article.” I do not see the allusion to an offense except in the sense of the passive state of understanding. It would also appear that understanding follows rather than goes before. And it would also appear that a good defense in case of war as you would have understanding take forgets that an action of aggression has already been taken. Do you mean to say that the aggression is understood as aggression? That seems a simple acknowledgement, where such acts of aggression usually mean that many have been killed and that such acts are not in isolation, but represent the beginning, apparently of your mere understanding. Often such interventions conjure the emotions and reactions of others, who governments may control but only insofar as an appropriate reaction is followed for the sake of politics at the very least.
It is not enough to have a policeman in sight, where corruption takes its seat in government, where the rich separate themselves with bouts of affluenza. Where all men are created equal they cannot be allowed to count more than another, to have influence over another such that the rights of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness are deterred.
