Wait a minute, Bush just got an idea.. let's combine "peace efforts" with war, and see how it turns out! i bet it'll be fun! c'mon guys!
But what Bush seemed to be saying was to do both together The saying if you want peace, prepare for war is to emphasize the importance of deterrence. A well prepared nation with a well trained army will enjoy peace without being at the mercy of anyone. Take the Swiss for example, the Swiss has not army, they are an Army.
