What I meant there (Sieg Heil) was that bowing down to "the inevitable" is treating it as some kind of God, in this case a God of War.

It isn't so many years ago and you had people writing, for example, that slavery has existed in every society (which was not that far off the truth) and that meant it was unrealsitic to pretend that we could get rid of it. But that assumotion was wrong. Slavery is not an inevitable part of human society - and nor need we assume that war is.

"War" in the sense of organised comflicts between people who have never even seen each other, is not in fact soemthing that has always been with us - but even if it had, we live in a very different world, where it is possible for us to destroy ourselves completely. Radically different circumstances require radically different ways of doing things.
