Preventing Peace

The World has gone through many battles since the beginning of time. There have been many world wide wars which have created conflicts between powerful nations. Some of the biggest wars have been World War I, WW II, the War in Iraq and currently the war in Libya. I believe that the number one element for preventing peace is the act when someone disrespects the ideas and the beliefs of another person. Preventing peace has been a goal that many people have achieved such as Mummar Gadhafi who currently is attacking and disrespecting the people of Libya and Osama Bin Laden who is the leader of the Al-quaeda group and killed many people on September 11, 2001
Mummar Gadhafi has been the dictator of Libya for over 42 years. Recently there has been a dispute because the Libyans want freedom from Gadhafi’s dictatorship. The Libyans have peacefully protested and they also created the Transitional National Council. The main purpose of the Transitional National Council is to turn Libya into a democratic country. The Libyans want to choose their own dictator who respects their ideas.
Gadhafi has been attacking the Libyans by bombing his people due to their protests. He wants to keep Libya under his control by fighting against his people and creating an un-peaceful country. Gadhafi and his army are killing many innocent people who only want to have a democratic country. Gadhafi did not respect the people’s ideas because he wants to be in control and increasing his wealth. He has taken advantage of the country’s oil resources. All of Gadhafi’s hatred and disrespect has causes unmerciful ways with his own country. That is the number one reason preventing peace around the world. Such as the bombing on 9/11/2001, due to this tragedy the U.S. had to go to war with Iraq all just for the lack of respect. The Al-quaeda forces did not respect many innocent American’s who were present on the twin towers and died due to the terrorism of a group of people.
Respect is the number one key that brings peace between people. Without respect no one can ever have peace. Most of the society would like to have a peaceful world. Unluckily, there are some people such as Mummar Gadhafi and Osama Bin Landen who have not earned respect from the country of Libya or America. By their actions he has destabilized the society who only want to have a peaceful world.
