The last post felt a little off-topic, so to tie it in with Trollheart's intended topic, I might admit I feel the same thing about mankinds capacity for war. It is hardwired into us genetically. Under the right circumstances - with the right stimulus - conflict becomes a knee-jerk reaction for most of us, but it can still be controlled, regulated and overruled.
Increasingly, nations have become co-dependent on eachother. We interact more now than before and a war against your neighbour is probably going to hurt yourself. Stuff like that promotes peace and I guess globalization is going to increase into the future.
