REFLECTING ABOUT.....OURSELVES, DUH!
So people just answer me this: CAN MANKIND LIVE IN PEACE REGARDLESS ITS DIFFERENT IDEOLOGIES?
WHY IF THE MAJORITY OF PERSONS OF THE WORLD WANT PEACE THERE ARE SO MANY DISTURBS, CHAOS, FIGHTING...? YOU GET THE POINT
COULD WE, EVER, LIVE IN A WAY THAT IS BENEFICIAL TO EVERYBODY?
WHAT DO WE NEED??? EDUCATION, RULES, TOLERANCE... YOU NAME IT

Those are timeless questions. I don't really think we'll ever get an unanimous answer.Our world is a melting pot, but several things (ideologies) are very hard or even impossible to melt.
As far as your questions are regarded, this is my humble opinion:
We should live in peace regardless our different ideologies, but we(mankind) can't. Isn't war by definition a conflit of interests? And if man struggles every day to fulffil his eager wishes and hunger for power, how can we eradicate fighting and chaos from the world?
You're right: the majority of people of the world want peace. But it isn't the majority who rules the world.
History shows us that it is the war that brings evolution... Nations are created by war... Even to assure peace we need to fight against the ones who don't want it at all.
So, a world in peace is an utopia, which I share, but still an utopia.
What do we need? To understand that war has created mankind and all we can do is hoping that some day people will stop being selfish...
