    Think about it ! all acts performed in the World begin in the imagination, I quote my childhood friend Barbara Gruzutti Harrison, if tommorow we stop fighting, and stop the harsh language, it is possible !

    We are too dang smart, if ants can work together, so can we work together World wide ! Think about it, World peace is possible if everyone makes a real effort, and it is free ! costs no money to have peace !

    The real miracle is here on earth in our hands, maybe we can't live forever here on earth, maybe in heaven, but we can have peace !

    Then I would be willing to lay down my guns.

    So you want replies. If you want world peace, you'll have to do away with the concept of "vested interests", and the concept of interfering with the vested interests of another man. You'll have to eliminate greed, pride, vanity, and the myriad other traits that amount to corruption. As for what the ants can do vs. mankind, I offer one of the best quotes in all of literature:
    "A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."

    -Robert A. Heinlein

    btw: the ants are not at peace, either.

    I am a competitive shooter I am no more willing to lay down my guns than Roger Federer is willing to throw away his wilson tennis racquets

    Looking at the world as I see it I'm going with "pipe dream". Human nature will not allow it.

    And a quick tour of history will validate what you said.

    There is no true peace in the world, where evil exists.

    Is peace worth any cost?

    You hit it! We just need to find a way to make peace more profitable than war.

    If you want peace, prepare for War, I say it is possible, only if everyone tries at the same time, sadly at this time, you will NOT get everyone to agree on one flavor of icecream.
    Hence my statement was quantified in a manner that escapes a normal brief glance.

    As long as there is a handful of people left on this planet; they will fight.

    If another Buddha or Christ is born or some miracles hapspen or else it is just a dream and we can do nothing, no force, no peace proposal, no tryst, no truce can bring out peace. The reason is we all are evolving, struggling, and fighting for food, shelter, sex and the like. We all are different individuals and our very genetic contents or DNA are in conflict, and everywhere in nature there is perpetual combat.

    Be peaceful, or we'll beat you up. That's as close as it will ever get with this version of the human organism.

    Is world peace possible, no. There will always be wars and conflicts. Also different species of ants do not work together and ants also has wars.
