Agree. Whenever possible, compromise, understanding and equitability should be the bedrock of any foundation. Too many think 'choosing peace' means not resisting. In fact, it begins much earlier in the prevention of animosity and finding solutions without violence.
In the real worked, this isn't always possible, and invading forces have been fought back over mankind's history. But largely, war is about cash, resources and power. The US hasn't fought in a war or operation that directly threatened the US since WWII, and we've been at way without break since then.
Peace over war? Possible nearly 100% of the time, but man's ego won't allow it.
