Universal Disarmament is a Must

War never decides who is wrong or who is right. It only states who are left. Every human being on this planet want a peaceful environment. We are not aware what wars are turning us into. Terrorism is a result of wars we had so far. And we are still fighting.

Earlier we were fighting with each other for power, money, resources with each other now, we are fighting with terrorism. But fight is still on. Its high time to put an end to this. Disarmament tough can't be employed in current scenario, because we have come to far and there is no way back now. You have chosen to fight. You have enemies, terrorism.

So my opinion on the question is that we can not get to this disarmament option but we can certainly find better way to bring peace. Gandhi was not a man it was a spirit and spirit never dies we have to bring that spirit among us. You may disagree with my statement but I consider you to think again over this statement.

Universal Disarmament is practically not possible at a current scenario when countries around the world are in the race of proving their supremacy. Talks of disarmament and terrorism can't go hand to hand. There must be a peaceful atmosphere on the political base. Apart part from this there must be the atmosphere of internal safety and security for the citizen from terrorism as well as proxy wars which can compromise their integrity.

Another and most important point is that we are living an era where there is a race to sell the weapons or delebrating my point I will say there is an open market where the weapons are sell and many countries are making a profit and sustaining their economy. Funds to terrorism are being raised through the flea market of weapons. And thus to be concluding, in short, we are in the world where armament is business and Disarmament is just a word for 'Peace' on the paper.

I as a citizen of a sovereign nation do not agree that disarmament should take place not even that of global scale, as I believe that when each and everyone of the nations are armed with deadly weapons there will not be any war fearing the "Mutually Assured Destruction" (MAD) , that is to say that if I try to harm you I know I will be harmed as much as I have harmed if not more and that brothers and my only friends is why we haven't witnessed and god willingly won't witness any major wars in recent times.

In the early days of human kind there were no weapons, but still as history stands my witness, there were many genocide and brutal invasions, from what I have learnt from history is that only the strongest survive and only they claim over the weak But weapons make each and every nation capable of doing damage which makes those nations equals hence peace prevails.

The concept of universal disarmament does not mean that every country will be ripped off its whole weaponry. In most cases disarmament refers only to weapons of mass destruction. So while a nation can protect itself against terrorist attacks even without nuclear or biological weapons, but these WMD's are must for those countries who don't have a high class military like USA, because it is only the fear of mass destruction which is keeping strong countries from attacking the weaker ones in terms of military forces.

A new term arms control was coined up in 1960's which, if applied, would take care of arms balance between different countries so that a nation with stronger military force does not attack on ones with a weaker military force.

So in my opinion, as long as arms control is not being applied, there should not be universal disarmament.

Friends universal disarmament basically means destroying the weapons of mass destruction. Universal disarmament is the dire need of the hour. But the word 'UNIVERSAL' should be kept in mind by the USA which asks rather forces other nations to destroy their weapons. The international community should also force America to disarm itself.

Some of my friends above have said that destroying these weapons would reduce our power to tackle terrorism, here I want to say that it would be a uphill task for the terrorists to develop a nuclear bomb or a hydrogen bomb. I am rather worried about the fact that if these weapons, which are invented by us, are annexed by the terrorists would be more dangerous. They would use it anywhere to cause the mass destruction.

So it is in our favor to follow the policy 'UNIVERSAL DISARMAMENT' strictly.

Definitely no. Everybody can't be Gandhi. And there is no point in being like 'Gandhi' in this present world. Its about the survival of the fittest. Do you think that human's affinity to non-violence is helping to maintain peace and harmony. No its the fear of losing them which helps in maintaining peace and harmony.

Had Japan knew that America would be capable of launching a deadliest bomb on it they would not even have started their ship from their harbour. That is why nations signal each other that 'they have invested these many millions for defense purpose' to safeguard themselves.

What is the point in eradicating poverty when a nation is not capable of providing security to its masses?

Hello Friends!,

I do respect all of your points, But friends, I want to ask one thing that, what is the work of a gun or arms, is it life or death. A gun or arms always leads disaster and ends the life. The life is natural and threaded in love. A life can not be survived smoothly without love. On the contrary, arms & guns decline the love.

I agree with the topic, disarmament is a must, All country should disarm and be happy with their own boundary or land. And UNO should monitor & ensure that no any country raise the dispute on the demarcated boundary. UNO must have the power then one day you will see, all over world would be a green place for living. Make love love love. Thanks.

What gandhiji did could be right in one way, but it resulted in injury of a large no. Of people without any cause which if used as strikers would result in early independence. He used non violence and disarmament which resulted in late independence and loss to the country. This could be reduced if we have followed the path of shaheed Bhagat singh. So disarmament should be done not by throwing your arms but make a pledge to not to use the arms till it comes to your life. In a country like India the political condition is so demanding that we have to use arms. Disarmament could only be done if done internationally. Which is just practically impossible without catastrophic disaster.

Acquiring Assets and Power is always encouraged but these powers are meant to be used judiciously and for the right cause. Universal Disarmament could be practiced if you are sure that people will not forge the rules.

But people have variety of minds - be it a criminal mind, or a mahatma. Criminals does not care about the rules, so according to me it is impractical to practice universal disarmament. If people are good enough to think wisely, then despite possessing arms and ammunition, there will be no fight but only peace.

Therefore, in my point of view, weapons are for safety and security which should be used only when really required to defend yourself.

I totally don't agree with this topic. It is an impossible thing. Man has developed weapons from the stone age and this development has led to the invention of today's modern and hi-tech weapons. Earlier man use weapons to hunt, but in today's world the are use more in wars. So the field of use of weapons has changed and this has occurred because of the change in human thinking. As long as there will be terrorists, robbers and war, no one can stop the use of weapons. THE ONLY THING THAT CAN MAKE IT POSSIBLE IS 'HUMAN THINKING'. If all mankind is determined to live in peace the there will come one day, when there wont be any need of weapons.
