How many years has mankind gone without a war being waged somewhere? How many years of peace has mankind enjoyed? Do the math. War is the natural state of being. The strong devour the weak, and it has always been so. We are not capable of governing ourselves. The only creatures on earth that engage in warfare are humans and Chimpanzees. We share 98% of our genes.Go figure.
Cynical? perhaps. Realistic? Yes.
