There will never be peace without war. No one can argue that America's peace with Germany and Japan are not the direct result of America defeating them in war. Nor can anyone argue that Hitler would not have continued his quest if no one had stood up to him. If good people simply looked the other way when evil people did terrible things, this world would be run by people like Hitler, Stalin and bin Laden.
This doesn't apply, of course, to the neo-communist and/or nihilist types who wished the world *were* run by the likes of Hitler, Stalin and bin Laden. YMMV.
