This may be unpopular but There has been more lives taken by wars of religon than any other wars

Man has been blundering into warfare for more than 6,000 years. Why do you think it was necessary for Gods Son to die a sacrificial death?

Woodrow Wilson declared WWI the war to end wars.
He got it wrong! Jesus warned it was the beginning of pangs of distress two thousand years before the event. As with a woman's labour pains, the frequency of events is increasing year after year until the climax called the great tribulation. See Matt 24. Mark 13. Luke 21.

Meanwhile another prophesy in the book of Isaiah;2 is reaching its climax

in the final part of the days [that] the mountain of the house of Jehovah will become firmly established above the top of the mountains, and it will certainly be lifted up above the hills; and to it all the nations must stream. 3 And many peoples will certainly go and say: “Come, YOU people, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will instruct us about his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For out of Zion law will go forth, and the word of Jehovah out of Jerusalem. 4 And he will certainly render judgment among the nations and set matters straight respecting many peoples. And they will have to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war anymore. Foot note; substitute mountain for organization and hills for lessor organizations.

People often ask me, but what would happen if every body refuses to go to war. Well then there would be no more war! This is why God is ending mans permission to rule the earth and putting it into the hands of his Son. Dan 2v44. Isaiah 9 v 6&7

The Quest for war never goes away, it is too fundamental for the male psyche.. War has always been the purest test of manhood. It is a thrilling addiction and a curse and the ruination of peoples nations. By the way, leeroy, did you know that T, Roosevelt used waterboarding in the war with the Philipines?

I've heard a discussion that the slavery issue could have been resolved during the Civil War with simple reasoning. How much does it cost a plantation owner a year to feed, clothe, house, and maintain the health and family of a slave? I don't remember the exact amount, but then if you transfer that into an hourly wage, that would be the answer. I know that slavery wasn't the only issue for that war, but the point being reasoning over taking thing to the battle front.

I think in the case of WWII it most likely couldn't be avoided, when you have a leader of a nation who is bent on taking over the world, it may be entirely unavoidable in a case like that.

yes and never

I don't know about the world.But Americans can't seem to live without some kind of war .Between themselves.

Unfortunetly there are times when wars are inevitable.There are countries or political systems that are incapable of living peacefully with their neighbours.Even though peace talks may initially avert war often it only postpones the inevitable.Look how our attitude has changed in the last 100 years.Europe at the beginning of the 20th century was a war looking for a half decent excuse to kick off.When Princip shot Franz Ferdinand he surely couldnt have anticipated the consequences but all the main countries hardly tried to avoid war,scenes of sheer jubilation from each capital seem crazy in hindsight.In '38 Hitler appeased to avoid war.He was motivated by revenge for 1918 and deep hatred for communism,war couldnt be avoided.We now see war as a final resort but some leaders can't compromise like Gadaffi.It's the likes of North Korea and Iran we need to make the effort with as war with them would be a catastrophe

they shoot first then ask questions after, aint likley to change either

Yes, sadly enough, sometimes war is necessary and the truth is that the decision of war is often made too late. A dictator who kills unarmed are not fit for speeches let alone peace talks.

War is a direct result of humans superior intelligence.We are so smart that most all of the diseases that controlled our population,including old age,have either been eliminated or are almost under control.
As a result there has arisen an uncontrollable population increase which will mean that demand will outstrip supply of necessities(which is happening on an ever increasing rate).Therefore war becomes inevitable to effectively help control the ever spiraling growth.
The reason everyone is against it is the fact that we have emotion that hinders the natural occurrence of life and death.

The world would go on! (happily)
