The only way to prepare for peace is to prepare for war.
WAR- a period of hostile relations between countries, states, or factions that leads to fighting between armed forces, especially in land, air, or sea battles; to be involved in a serious struggle, argument, or conflict with somebody or an effort to combat or eradicate something harmful<>
Throughout the years in history there's been war. War can be an battle between two countries, for civil rights, and eternally. War is shown in the book 1984 by George Orwell through the battle for individual rights and the freedom of speech. The statement "The only way to prepare for peace is to prepare for war." Is proven to be true countless times throughout history. For example to obtain the same rights as whites Dr. Martian Luther King led his army into the streets to boycott for justice,his army believed in peace however. Battles dont always have to be with guns and hate,but with silence and calm.

I agree with this anylisis because you do not need to prepare for hostile relations (war) to maintain peace.
So what, bomb as soon as someone is a threat? How would peace ever be accomplished?
I agree that Silence + Calm=Peace
not Gunz + Bombz. Be hippie.
Passive aggressivness, and boycotting of miitary tactics even if someone gets hurt.

"The only way to prepare for war is to prepare for peace"

Before reading the book 1984 i stroungly believed in this statment. However now my opinion has now changed. Throughtout the book the main charcter Winston, may of "thought" aganist the party,but never used violence. However he was still captured and torchured. I believe if Winston would have taken an more directive hit at the party he and his comrades would of been more effective to disrupt the parties power.
