What're your questions for the world?

EXTRA INFO ABOUT THE SITE:

Hey! This blog is about asking questions that're on my mind or that people may ask me. These are not little questions really and they can have multiple answers so feel free to answer them as you see fit. The whole point of the site is to have people think about the world and the way things are. If you don't agree with something I've said tell me why with a comment (you have to have a google account), but please don't use that as a way to be obnoxious. Everything is pretty much up in the air when it comes to what you think and how you feel about something so I can't really set down any guidelines other than don't be too judgmental of another comment or of something I may have said.

Stay open-minded and hear people out. =]

Hope you enjoy and don't criticize what I'm trying to say too harshly. Although of course I'm open to criticism and debates. =]

Also...Email me @: tomiahayes@yahoo.com if you have a question you'd like to have posted on the site. Remember they have to be versatile and have many possible answers and they can't be...child-ish.

Why: Don't We Have World Peace?

       I believe world peace would be so easy to come by if people all around the world (the people who run things) could just agree on everything. Of course that day will probably never come. Everyone has there own opinions, and everyone loves power. Which is our biggest downfall when it comes to the love another people. Think about it. If we could get everyone to see eye to eye on something it'd be the biggest accomplishment ever...But no...Someone always has to come out on top. This is, obviously, a money thing. Money runs countries and without it we too could be a third world country.
       What I don't understand, and probably will never understand, is why power is such a big thing. Although people talk a big game about how much they'd like world peace, you never see the steps they're taking towards it. Especially the United States. We're seen as the bullies of the world. Which is, for the most part, true. We fight everyone's battles like as if they completely involve us, and when we go to war it's like "Oh crap it's all over now." Which could be taken as a good thing...Except we have a pretty big ego here in the U.S. We don't use what resources we have to attempt to guide people (including ourselves) to a type of complete unity.
      Here's what I'm trying to say, if we could treat world peace like a treaty for the world...I think we could actually live in complete peace. We'd structure it where it seemed fit for all parties, abide to the guidelines that were set, and not have to worry about being bombed in the middle of the night. We'd all be equals in my mind. Right now, I don't see any reason why we aren't equals, or why we think we're better or worse than other people...But that just makes us sound like an insecure teenage girl (haha it's a joke).
       So...Someone explain to me...Why?
