'Si vis pacem, para bellum' is a Latin adage translated as "If you want peace, prepare for war". This drawing is mostly representing the irony and ridiculousness of this flawed mentality, by representing the symbol of peace (the white pigeon with the olive leaf) going at war and killing the opponents. While it can be used as a motto for various military organizations, the core essence of this motto can never bring a true permanent peace, and history can confirm it. A better quote would be 'Si vis pacem, para pactum' - if you want peace, agree to keep the peace.
