Ofcourse not. Peace isn't achieved without war centuries ago because war was around all the time.

The Dutch people don't need to be protected because the Dutch goverment isn't looking for a fight. Even if our goverment wants to get involved in a war, we are not allowed to do anything exept for caring for wounded civilians and things like that. The Dutch know how to achieve peace, we are one of the first, if not the first with a real spiritual political group (MenS). The other older political groups in our country are generaly smart enough not to attack anyone, but MenS takes the wisdom much further.
And I already said what I personaly do. I'm trying to help people in other parts of the world. On various ways.

Also Holland is a generous and philanthropic country. But still MenS thinks we are spending too much on military power and too little on humanitarian organisations. And I agree.
