World Peace?

I've been thinking about a few things involving how so many people are wanting world peace.  While it is definitely a goal to strive for I also feel that 'world peace' is perhaps epitomized too much.  Genesis 11:1-9 (story of Babel) is what I have in mind here.  This was a bunch of people who all came together to build a tower in self-glorification.  We all know what happened, God managed to see the minuscule idol of the humans and scattered humanity across the earth and confused all their speech - thus the birth of multiple languages.  So in a sense, these guys had achieved world peace with each other, but they were missing something - relationship with God. 
   However, through Christ all believers are united again as one people sharing the same language - the gospel (see Acts 2).  Together as the church it could be said that we represent the unity of all people under the one God following Jesus' second coming.  So what does this mean for 'world peace' in the sense that it is thrown round today?  For believers (and I should say even for non-believers) it is something to strive for, but under the right pretenses.  Jesus taught that we are to live in peace with each other, if this were to occur on a world wide scale there would definitely be 'world peace.'  So peace flowing through a relationship with Christ as we love God and our neighbour is what we should strive for.  Peace without relationship with God is still not enough as evidenced in Genesis 11.  It is by this I mean that 'world peace' is being epitomized.  If it were the epitome, then it would be enough, but it's not - Christ first.
