I'm not looking for fence-sitting answers here. I already know that there are many reasons to argue both for and against warfare. What I am asking is that you imagine you possess a magic amulet that gives you the power to end warfare everywhere, now and forever. Would you use it? What are your reasons, for or against using it? Would you hesitate before choosing or jump right in?
The background to this question is this:
Recently I asked here whether the world would be better off had gunpowder never been invented. To my surprise I received a resounding, "No!" I expected some no answers but it was actually unanimous. The reasons were varied. One suggested that without wars and the technology developed in and because of wars we might still be in the dark ages.
So how do you feel about this? Use the magic amulet or not?
