this has been a topic for centuries amongst all people of the earth. with the sopposed unannouced capture of Osama bin ladin and the coming 2nd gulf war do you think we can all shake hands and sing Combyah?:)
Sure it's possible. Simply eliminate all human life and the world will be at peace. I propose doing this via creating a giant nanotech based robot with three theoretical capabilities (self recovery, self multiplication, and self evolution) to destroy all human life.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
Ah, the "Intelligent Machines Decide to Destroy all Human Life scenario? But its usually because we're inneficient, not because we are violent... :)
As for world peace, um unless the world becomes a dictatorship on the level of Soviet Russia, I very much doubt that... its just not human nature. Unfortunately.

Look, I just provide solutions to problems. He wants all war to go away, I offer a solution.

The only way world peace will be possible is if, as Dark Jaguar said, the entire human race is wiped off the face of the Earth. But since that probably won't be happening anytime soon, I think it's safe to say that the answer is no.
