"War can only be abolished through War, and in order to get rid of the gun it is necessary to take the gun".
America a fortnight back was on a blatant display of belligerency against Syria but Russia's timely intervention helped curb the unfortunate. Syria is highlighted on the world map because of the use of Chemical weapons of mass destruction (CWD). America and its allies accused the Syrian govt. for this use of weapons against the people. So to oust the govt they deemed it necessary to  destroy the weapons in the name of Humanitarianism by carrying out targeted strikes. Russia intruded by labeling this use of power on part of America as unethical . Both the countries even in  post cold war era  have always locked horns on world issues when one tries to overpower the other. America use guns to get rid of guns and Russia in order to do away with the American dominance takes the route of diplomacy and political negotiations. Neither of them trying to get a genuine solution to the problem. Instead of extravagant deployment of military in war torn areas in the world, efforts should be made to invest in education and generating employment. Education will liberate people from the shackles of ignorance and instil in them the sense of connection with the world .
Employment on the other hand will help the youth to explore the capabilities and direct them away from indulging in terrorist activities. Opening up more schools at primary level, vocational education,Universities,
etc will help in this direction . Technology can play a vital role. Superpowers can maintain their hegemony by incorporating these ideas instead of military interventions . War is never a solution . Mala a 16 year old girl received plaudits for her vision which aims at ending wars. If a teenager can comprehend and come up with a solution why can't the high minds work in this direction to bring about peace and tranquility at world level..
