Wouldn't it be great if it was just so simple? A single organization can just stop it all? Who would oppose that?

Humans create war. It is in our nature. Every tiny effort to improve lives and perform these miracles should be cherished and encouraged, regardless of military background. It is perhaps one of the few ways we have to overcome conflict and look towards a better future.

Literally a single person could stop the vast majority of organized armed conflict in the world today.

Are you being serious? The vast majority? It absolutely does not work like that.

I can't be bothered to source this information and admit it may be wrong, but common sense tells me that the vast majority of loss of life in the past 20 years that is related to armed combat happened in places where there are US troops or governments whose defense spending is subsidized by the US government. Considering the ridiculous amount the US spends on defense I can't see how this wouldn't be the case.
