The powerful elite, the rulers of our nations place bets on these wars. They feed on the negative energy caused by wars, death, illness, tragedy in any form. They feed on the stress they put on us with extreme taxes, inflation, illness, medical costs, anything to do with money. Look at the pressure we are under and it has only happened in the last so many years. We have never seen such a time.
We people who fight the wars for these elitists have no say in these wars. Yay or nay. We don't want war. Our children are force fed false educations based on lies. We are under their total control and they are putting the squeeze on.
The real kick in the @ss is in ancient times these elite are the very ones who started religion. We have a lot to thank them for, don't we? Religion is division set up for our control and destruction. But, it is just a part of it. Getting rid of one factor won't change the reality of war in our lifetime.

the end of religion would mean the end of religious wars. Getting rid of a scapegoat would stop the justification for the war that was supposedly the result of the scapegoat's acts.
there will still be wars. IMO, there will ALWAYS be wars of some sort or other. I don't think it is possible to compute ego or to build in fail safes (remember Klatu Borata Nikto? The Day the Earth Stood Still....) and I DO think that common sense would not be sufficient to end wars, Why? Because fighting is such a part of us as a species that I don't think it is possible to eliminate or control it in any realistic or reliable way. Conflict exists between any two people just due to the fact that they occupy different physical spaces.
I would like to think I am wrong. But.....I am a realist, and that is how our human race is. Then let's ask ourselves, what would happen if we were able to stop war....what would be the possible downside of that, if any?

Well, I don't believe that ending religion would stop war (although I do contend that religion is intrinsically divisive).
The french revolution, well, there were a lot of grudges to settle. Centuries of oppression to get over.
Then we move on to government and societies. Communism, while good on paper, fails in practice. Capitalism is eating itself alive. Lately I've been thinking of some hybrid; a guided open market of sorts. I'm still thinking about the particulars.
I think mankind needs a good common outside enemy to unite.

Short answer: Bush. It is of interest however that the Iraq Study Group's recommendation to open talks with Iran is also getting a lot of flak. I have not read the full report or seen the evidence, if there be any, regarding Iran's support of terrorists in Iraq or elsewhere for that matter. so, the jury may still be out on those points. We can only speculate at this point that the stance taken by Blair is no different from the one taken by his Atlantic partner, Bush.

You have elaborated well and I agree with you.
We live in a a day of relative morality. We also take the privilege of acting as we are our own god, question everything and ascribe loyalty to nothing beyond our pleasure.
It is a moral crisis first of all, manifested in civil war, hate and prejudice, crime and war.
In the face of all this, we refuse to admit we are inadequate for noble task and that higher powers are needed.
What we see around us is just a self inflicted testimony against us.

Ideology is a thousand times more dangerous than religion. Fanatatical ideologues are the real danger, not the Billy Graham Crusade!

common sense is what is lacking when some one advocates destroying religion as a means to end war and all the other ills of this world.
any one promoting the destruction of religion is obviously not religious and yet (destroy) is the the first thought that comes to their minds. sounds real peaceful to me, how about you.

I don't think anything will ever stop all wars. As long as man exists, he will always find a reason to war against someone else

It depends, though, if religion is an idle scapegoat, blamed for causing the war in retrospect, or if it is the motivating force behind initiating the conflict. In the first case, war goes on without it, in the second, it may lose much of its support.
