James Ramsay MacDonald, who was Prime Minister of Great Britain in the 20's and 30's said, "We have all taken risks in the making of war. Isn't it time that we should take risks to secure peace?"

I'm not aware that anyone has tried that yet.  Probably because peace isn't as profitable as war.

From what I've read, I kind of think Jesus would be on the side of peace.  Alas, I haven't heard any of the "Christians" running for office talk about that.
