Is Destruction necessary to bring peace?

War can never lead to peace. Destruction means demolishing so if the party is demolished how cqn we expect any peace. If people think that war can lead to soft bilateral relations then, I feel that if we destruct and deteriotes one's power, the other people who are in favour of that particular party would rise and would lead to both-sided destruction instead of peace. Killing or destructing is just hazardous and self-annihiliating. If peace is required, diplomatic relations should promote mutual benefit. Results of better mutual benefits have always been fruitful and will remain so forever. At one side, we discourage terrorisms and civil wars because they are destructive and demolishes peace then, howcome we are promoting destruction and wars for peace.

It all depends on the other side of the party. If the other party provokes with an intention of destabilizing the country, do you think we should the song of Peace. A thorn should be used to remove a thorn.

Apart from this I would like to add on that in the mythology of India both the epics ramayan and Mahabharat had wars but it is notable that first the heroes both Shri Ram ( and army) and Shri krishan alobg with Arjun and Family demanded peaceful diplomatic agreement firstly and war was secondary. In the case if the other party wants destruction, it is their lack of knowledge or rather-

" Vinashkaale vipreet budhi".

However, war leads to destruction only. In the case of mahabharat only a handful of people were alive after the 13 day war who were of a same team, so peace was derermined. In the Ramayan also, Ravan and his supporters died and Shri Ram had been always peaceful, if he was not have been so, he would have never accepted the exile.

Basically war became a need of situation not a source of peace. It was about ending evils and peace was never a criteria of requirements.

A thorn can remove a thorn but what about the several other thorns coming in the way? 

Also if a thorn removes the other, only one is left. A Single palm cannot clap similarly, with single thorn there is no point of peace and war. Its over basically , one thorn ends and other rules.

War is an extreme form of negotiation to settle a dispute if other peaceful means fail. Destruction can be peaceful or violent. In technology we see it happening all the time. Mobiles have killed landlines, PC and laptops and cameras (Kodak has closed down),watches, CD's and so on. Progress means replacing the old. In the process people who earned from the old lose their jobs and livelihood and are put to trouble.  

We are discussing about the imminent destruction, when other peaceful efforts fail.

So.

"So" ? What does  it mean ?

It means without any doubt.

You got the point SIR, why god didnt try to prevent that war as he is supposed to do anything? Lord Krishna was not God but a God incarnate and he had limitations to take decisions. This means every thing happens by its own karma and God has no role in our lives.

God or otherwise, how and why it's justified to remain as a silent spectator when evil forces are unleashing the terror and mayhem ? Even a good Samaritan cannot keep himself aloof when something that threatens the normal life.

If God cant prevent destruction even in satyog and has to be a silent spectator at that time and what is the role of God...

Why one should wait for the God and intervene, when man himself is capable of sorting out the things ?

We expect too much..., we expect God to come and relive us from even headache

Who else if not God...after all he is the root cause of every headache too  

God created Man. Provided all the resources within him. He wanted man should become strong and self sufficient. Remember God helps those who help themselves. Don't think god comes from the blue and blesses you without putting his own efforts. In fact God will be happy to see his creation emerging as strong and sturdy.

God is the creator, we all are his creation. Thats it.. we expect, we blame him, all due to our emotional dependency. We need someone to lean on, someone to blame and someone to rescue us. May be trait of a human being.

What is good and what is evil. Nobody says that he is on side of evil.  The wars are not for ending evil. These are for some self interest- good or evil. The Mahabharat war was also for some personal and self interest of Pandavas and Kauravas.  Good or evil can always be interpreted any way. 

Ultimately, lasting poace requires that disputes be settled amicable and throug conciliation. It is not necessary that truth and virtue always triumphs. Evil can also win. Mythologically,  the asurs (devils) defeated the surs O(gods) several times. The fight between good and evil (interpreted according to vested interests) never ends. 

The incident of Asuras winning over Suras is a temporary triumph. Truth triumphs always. May be in a delayed manner.
