Yes. Humans and some Ape tribes engage in war. Let me explain...

Humans and some Ape groups have developed the ability to think abstractly and foresee the likely actions of others based on past experience. So, when they believe those actions are likely to be harmful, they cooperatively team up and go eliminate the threat. That is the most natural form of war.

Humans have the most highly developed ability to wage war. This gave them the ability to cooperatively eliminate many natural threats such as the lions that once used humans for food. This natural ability is the key to Humans' ability to make the world more safe for themselves.

You can walk down the street and not fear being jumped by lions or Nazis or other threats because of our natural ability to wage war against those who are a threat to us.

Tell me what is there that is not natural?. Wars are the results of conflicts of interests. Interests vary from person to person, the way they chose to live and hence the country to country. Choices of people are natural.

Everything is part of nature. If we are using computers, it's natural too. For me computers are just like the bi-products we human beings are developing like the 'photosynthesis' by the plants. If 'photosynthesis' is natural, then 'invention of new things' to make our lives comfortable is natural. If a pack of wolves declares war against a bunch of antlers to satisfy their interest of hunger, then declaring war against another country in the name of 'anything' to satisfy their own interests is natural.

I honestly find the like cancer answer very amusing. Unfortunetly as long as there is prejudice and anger and misunderstanding and greed in the world their will be war. In the perfect society it's not a problem. But it's kind of like communism. It's great in theory, but peace doesn't work in "real" life.

If we won't wage war against each other, we will be Gods soon; aren't you glad! Peace and harmony always exist in heaven, that is why our planet called earth and we, mortal!
