Wars are needed as a natural part of human evolution. When you look at war from a long-range perspective, it becomes clear that, as destructive as wars are, their very destructiveness has served as the primary force for the evolution of the human race. By mercilessly elimnating those who were unable to survive in the theater of war, wars resulted in a constant upgrading of both the physiological and intellectual acuity of man.

Although many bright people perish in wars, the preponderance of the casualties occur among people with the limited intellectual capacity to understand the mechanics of wars and who are thus unable to avoid becoming casualties.

Who would seriosly dispute the fact that smart people have higher living standards than intellectually less endowed persons do? War elimnates the intellectually less fit and thus, in the end, raises the average intelligence and the living standards of society as a whole.

Throughout the ages, evolution took advantage of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse, war, natural disasters, disease and famine.

If we succeed in eliminating armies and war, we are also eliminating war in its capacity as a powerful contributor to evolution by keeping the world population in check. We are now at 6 billion humans, scientific projections of growth predict 10 billion within 50 years...mostly in under developed countries. Humanity will reach the limits of available resources at 9-12 billion..this is not sustainable.

We can only speculate as to which path evolution will take in reducing the world from 10 to 3 billion. A battle for resources will favor those with higher levels of intelligence and rationality. Evolution never receds to irrationality, superstition and stupidity.

Answer 3

The main reason for war has always been greed for wealth and/or power. Of course, war makers do not admit why they want war. It's to protect the citizens of their country, they say. And because normal citizens don't take the time to find out what's going on behind the scenes, they accept the tyrant's propaganda as though it were gospel.

The war makers are like rapists who claim they are heroes fighting for sexual freedom.

Answer 4

Fear.

Much of the motivation behind most human action is fear: fear of strangers, fear of differences, fear of failure, fear of inadaquacy, fear of safety, and on and on. We fight against what makes us afraid and we are always afraid of something. We think that by fighting the fear, it will be conquered, while in actuality it creates more fear.

War will only end when we stop being afraid of each other and that will only happen when we all become more accepting of everyone else, of all beliefs, of all lifestyles, and simply live and let live. The problem is there is so much negativity being spread, and negativity makes fear thrive.

We can blame it on everything under the sun, but if one problem gets solved, we'll fight about something else. That's human nature because we can't let go of our fear.
