Question

How do we stop our governments from going to war? turboelf


Answer

Alvaro Restrepo: This question includes a big [] in the sense that war is something inherent of life and of our planet. I think that we should only intervene if we want to influence our governments in order to find other solutions of conflicts. And only a strong and organized civil society can put a government under pressure so that they propose other alternatives. One of the biggest problem is a state of not declarated civil war because it is maybe on of the most painful wars, like e. g. in my country. But I think that all wars are civil wars. All wars are happening between human beings, between the same species. But the interests in one country that obligate human beings to fight against each other can only be achieved if there is a very strong society that opposes itself against that form of fratricide. As I said all wars are fratricides. All wars are like this.
