We Want Peace, Not War.
To U.S.A. and All Other Nations

We want peace, not war.
Because
Jesus said:
For all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
—Matthew 26:52, King James Version.
Because
Confucius said:
If you attack others, others will attack you, too.
Because
what is wanted from ancient to modern times, from the West to the East, by all saints and sages, the wise, the benevolent, and the good people, is peace not war.
Looking back through human history, we are aware that war can never solve any problem, but create more problems, more disasters to those who are suffering.
However, using the development and achievements of modern technological civilization, we really have the opportunity and capability to accomplish and to maintain a global peaceful society of “being all brothers”.
Nevertheless, if someone wages war around the world on one hand and promotes the false Nobel Peace on the other hand, that is absolutely a liar.
A lifelong cheating never has good ending.
Additionally, for those who always show off their military power to other nations, this means nothing else but only proclaims their ignorance, and moves themselves toward the defeat, because what human desires is peace, not war.
Conclusion:
Only human peace can accomplish a great harmonious society.
Otherwise,
Human beings would be exterminated eventually.
The 34th President of the United States---- Dwight D. Eisenhower （the Supreme Commander of the Allied forces in Europe at World War II）said:
‘World War is very terrible. Human beings should not have war again in the future.’
We want peace! We do not want war!
We want to live in
Great Harmony.
我們要和平，不要戰爭

我們要和平，不要戰爭。
因為：
耶穌說：
舞劍者死於劍。
因為：
孔子說：
自伐者，必被伐。
因為：
古今中外，往聖先賢、智者、仁者、善者，都需要的是和平，不是戰爭。
證諸人類歷史，戰爭不僅不能解決問題，反而製造更多問題，使苦難人民更加苦難。
現代科技文明的發展和成就，真正有機會和能力，成就和維繫一個四海之內皆兄弟的和平社會。
一方面在世界各地戰爭，另一方面搞假的諾貝爾和平，那絕對是騙人的。
永遠騙人，不會有好結果的。
永遠在其他國度耀武揚威的展示武力，那是既愚昧又不會有什麼好結果的。人類需要的是和平，不是戰爭。
結論：
人類只有和平才能完成ㄧ個大和諧的社會。
否則：
人類必會毀滅。
美國總統（二次世界大戰歐洲統帥）艾森豪爾說：
‘戰爭可怕，人類不應該有戰爭。’
我們要和平，不要戰爭。
因為我們要：
大和諧
