Perhaps America, intoxicated by its blind power, was unaware of the background; a rival always exacts revenge, provided they are wise and fully understand military strategy. American President Trump lacks this understanding, or is devoid of it, or remained unaware that the field his rivals China and Russia provided him in the form of Iran would prove to be a quagmire that would be difficult for America to escape. Undoubtedly, the 21st century is the century of knowledge, technology, global connectivity, and human consciousness. In this era, the question has become more serious than ever before: is war really the solution to problems? Scientific research, historical experience, and rational analysis agree that war is not a solution to any problem, but rather a persistent problem in itself that gives rise to economic, social, political, and psychological destruction. Conversely, dialogue, mutual respect, and peace are the paths that guarantee sustainable development and human tranquility. Iran chose the honorable path of reconciliation, but America, in its arrogance of power, rejected it and deceitfully killed the Iranian leadership during negotiations. America’s war hysteria shattered the dream of regime change.

Science gives us awareness of cause and effect. If we consider war as a social experiment, its consequences are clear:
Destruction of resources
Loss of human lives
Mental illnesses, trauma, and generational psychological wounds
Environmental pollution and climate change
Neuroscience and psychology indicate that children raised in a war environment are more prone to fear, mistrust, and violence. Thus, war wounds not only the present but also the future. This war has engulfed the entire Middle East.

According to the principles of economics, capital, stability, and human resources are essential for development. War consumes all three. Now, America’s defense system appears to be failing. The war that Trump promised to end in four days is now being stated by him to last a month, while behind the scenes, he intensely desires negotiations with Iran, but Iran does not appear amenable to negotiations now. Meanwhile, this war has economically pushed the entire world into a deep chasm.

American defense spending, casualties in the war, and the heavy budget of the war instigated at Israel’s behest have troubled the American public.
Unemployment and poverty are increasing.
Investment is ceasing, and the economy is facing uncertainty.
Economic science clarifies that only peaceful societies generate sustainable development, innovation, and prosperity.

The politics of the 21st century demand wisdom, diplomacy, and dialogue more than the use of force. War may grant a temporary advantage to one party, but it never provides a lasting solution.

Reason dictates that differences should not be turned into enmity, but rather that a balance of interests should be created through dialogue. Political maturity lies in prioritizing reason over the gun.

War breaks societies apart, while peace binds them together. According to sociology, stable societies are those where:
Freedom of opinion is tolerated.
Cultural and intellectual diversity is accepted. Mutual respect is made a collective value. Mutual respect makes violence unnecessary, and this is the true foundation of peace.

Often, peace is considered merely a moral or emotional value, whereas it is a rational and scientific necessity. In peace, the mind becomes creative.
Society learns and moves forward.
Humans develop, free from fear.

In the 21st century, where problems are global in nature—such as climate change, pandemics, and the energy crisis—global cooperation, not war, is the only solution. War gives birth to hatred, and hatred to further wars. It is a vicious cycle. In contrast, peace fosters love, trust, and development—it is a constructive cycle.

Therefore, scientific consciousness, rational thought, and the demands of the present era require us to decide that the solution to problems is not war, but dialogue;
not enmity, but mutual respect;
not destruction, but peace is tranquility. Shanti.

The 21st century is an era of a rapidly changing world, abundance of knowledge, and global interdependence. In this era, positive attitudes between nations have become indispensable for success, survival, and progress.

This century demands knowledge, research, and scientific thinking more than emotions. Decisions should be made based on facts, data, and research, not on assumptions. Resolving differences through negotiation, discussion, and reason, rather than suppressing them with force, is an intellectual necessity of the 21st century. Whether global conflicts or social issues, dialogue provides sustainable solutions. In the atomic and digital age, war poses a threat to all of humanity. This century demands that peace, tolerance, and mutual respect be recognized as global values, as international organizations like the United Nations also emphasize.

Artificial intelligence, the internet, and digital media have turned the world into a village. The demand is that technology be used for education, health, development, and human welfare, not for destruction.

The 21st century is not just about wealth, but about fair distribution, poverty eradication, and sustainable development. Only that development is credible which benefits both humans and the environment. The climate crisis, pollution, and scarcity of natural resources have made it clear that adopting a lifestyle in harmony with the environment is the greatest need of the hour. Protecting human dignity and rights, transcending race, religion, language, and nationality, is the fundamental demand of this century. No society can be called civilized without this. In a competitive era, mental stress is increasing. The 21st century demands that psychological health, social harmony, and human tranquility be included in the measures of development.

The 21st century demands wisdom, not power. It wants peace, not war. It teaches respect, not prejudice, and requires sustainable development, not destruction.
