There has to be a better incentive for it than "peace", otherwise we'd never have gotten to this point to begin with.
It seems to me that people truly believe they're responding appropriately in dramatic situations (though observers might disagree), and that kind of thinking can't be reasoned with. I'm not really going anywhere with this point, I'm just disheartened by every angle of discussion and quietly crying about it.
