Overview
War is a form of hell that only humans could have invented, and an atrocity that only humanity can end. War wastes lives and futures, destroying families, communities and societies.

War is a form of hell that only humans could have invented, and an atrocity that only humanity can end. War wastes lives and futures, destroying families, communities and societies.
World military expenditures in 2007 alone totaled $1.2 trillion dollars. Imagine all of the problems that humanity could have tackled with that kind of cash.
The Iraq war, alone, has cost the United States an estimated $509 billion to date. More significantly, the human cost has been horrific: 4,000 American soldiers killed and perhaps 1.2 million Iraqis. Re-read that last sentence and consider the implications.
Iraq isn’t the biggest war that has been fought in living memory, or the longest. But it promises to morph into something even larger and more hideous unless the peoples of the world band together to end it and all of the other needless, murderous conflicts around the world.
Most people, if asked, will say they oppose war. Yet our political leaders insist on using military force to advance their agendas. This Wiki is a place for peace loving people to share information and perspectives on war, its causes, and how to end it. Please join in.
