For the first time since WWII the world is actually getting less peaceful.
That's right, bush started two wars, and still left the world with more peace than Obama's foreign policy of "Don't do stupid shit."

That's right, bush started two wars, and still left the world with more peace than Obama's foreign policy of "Don't do stupid shit."
World peace has deteriorated steadily over the last seven years, with wars, militant attacks and crime reversing six earlier decades of gradual improvement, a global security report said on Wednesday.
Conflict in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Sudan and Central African Republic in particular helped drag down the annual Global Peace Index, according to research by the Australia-based Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP).
In particular, rising numbers of people were killed in militant attacks across the Middle East, South Asia and Africa while murder rates rose in the emerging world's growing urban centres. More people also became refugees by fleeing fighting.
