"It's obvious: war is a waste of human and earth resources that results only in suffering. There are other ways to disagree." --Karen Malpede
"As John F. Kennedy said, it will end us instead. "If mankind does not put an end to war, then war will put an end to mankind.' Modern war is ecocide, genocide and ethnocide and is not sustainable. The costs of war are enormous, not just financial but social, ecological and global. War must become obsolete if the world is to survive." --John Judge
"We're destroying life on earth in all its forms. By supporting war we are creating poverty that includes fear and anxiety about the future which leads to depression, poor health, food insecurity, and homelessnes. People all over the world are experiencing the destructive effects of investing most of our country's resources in war resulting in the failure to create a healthy, well-educated and secure environment for humanity around the world." --Nancy Schoerke
"We must shift from "war is a necessary evil' to "peace is a necessary good.'" --Swami Beyondananda, Steve Bhaerman
"The myth that war creates justice, solves problems, improves security and enables peace is absurd. If we weren't so bombarded with propaganda to the contrary, everyone would know that. We need to insist on a new story, the true story. We must forbid the few to profit from war so that we may all begin to profit from peace." --Robert Shetterly
"We have seen enough of war to know that it doesn't work to resolve conflicts. It only exacerbates them. It is time we find other solutions and dedicate ourselves to life--not death." --Peter Kuznick
"To the extent that today's world is civilized at all, it's largely thanks to yesterday's opponents of war and misery: the soldiers who refused to fight, the civilians who refused to accept war and occupation, and all those who worked for a global order based on peace and equity. Yet the institutions and forces that produce war have not been eradicated. Today we must build an international movement that will not only prevent future wars but transform the very structures on which war, militarism, and imperial domination are based. This struggle will not be won quickly, but in the process even small acts and partial victories can help save numerous lives." --Kevin Young
"It is clear to me that war creates violence and does not solve problems. I have lived and worked in Iran. Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine and have seen first hard the broken bodies of children and the anger at our impact as a nation on people's lives. Thank you for putting this opportunity together. Peace" --Ann Huntwork
"I don't believe there is such a thing as a "just war'. Murder is murder, whether sanctioned by a government or not. All people should have the right to life and liberty, so long as they do no harm to others, and war extinguishes both." --Ethan Bell
"War promotes rascism all around the globe." --Muhammad Ali Khan
"The greatest threat to humanity today is climate change. Militarism exacerbates that threat, and is in no way useful for addressing that threat. The resources invested in militarism must be redirected to combat climate change and global warming." --Larry A. Unruh
"As a very young man I signed a declaration -- "I renounce war and will never support another'. That was in 1939 and I have maintained this stand throughout the whole period, including WW2, as a Conscientious Objector.Worked to achieve Peace since. It is necessary for individuals to take this stand and maintain it. War never solves anything -- it accentuates any problem, whatever it is, and makes matters worse. There is no moral or humanitarian justification for it." --Donald Saunders
"Having survived WWII as a child I am TOTALLY against ALL wars, there is not excuse for killing and injuring humans, all innocent, for life. I am still traumatized from the war and the bombing and starvation." --Ingrid Kepler-May
"We still carry ancient beliefs from thousands and thousands of years ago when war was the only thing known. We have options now. This organization will help shift the collective consciousness toward greater humanity and peace. War has indoctrinated the U.S. government as well as other countries. There is no integral intention that exists behind war. It is a contradiction and therefor useless. Its time to evolve greatly. "Love precious humanity'" --Leslie Naugle
"I want a world without war. War never works it just kills. I want my children to never have to have a close contact with war. I want my children and future generations to grow up free and in a peaceful world. War is not freedom it is a malignant force imposed by men in power. We must change the views of people in power now and let them know that in a diplomatic and peaceful way issues can be solved." --Ana Martins
