It depends. War is fought by two opposing forces. There are some people/ governments who do not want to negotiate with peace. They will continue to cause war. So if we wanted peace with Isis, do you really think sitting down and doing nothing will stop the war. Acting on peace and fighting with peace won't stop those who aren't looking for peace. These people want something which is control. If the people they were fighting dropped their weapons and tried for peace they would die. Human nature is unpredictable. Amongst civil issues, ie Gandhi and MLK, civil disobedience does work, because the people they fought for were part of a working system and when they chose to stop "being part of it" they government compromised, because they needed those people to function in the society. War comes in many forms, and it depends which war you are talking about. Because sometimes people have tried peace and it ends up being war because one side wants war. Peace is an ideal, and ideals are rarely attainable. So even if you want peace and are willing to have peace your enemy might not.
For in everything it is no easy task to find the middle ... anyone can get angry—that is easy—or give or spend money; but to do this to the right person, to the right extent, at the right time, with the right motive, and in the right way, that is not for everyone, nor is it easy; wherefore goodness is both rare and laudable and noble. — Aristotle
