I'm pessimistic about "peace" anywhere. Not only pessimistic, I don't believe it's possible* There have been quite a continuum of conflicts for all historic times. With hundreds of nations and technology improving so that many of these nations may wage war across great distances, I don't see an end in sight.
It's possible that wars are a good and necessary part of being human. A Darwinian struggle between nations. The fittest survive. Continual wars between humans cause an increasing arms escalation improving the chances of defense against alien invaders (HAHA!)
A funny note. I keep hearing newscasters,etc. saying the US is trying to bring peace to the world as bombs are dropping all over Iraq. Jokers.
*OK, less than 1% chance in next 1000 years.
