NO, War is not escapable by humanity. As long there are people there will be groups and or countries sending their young and old, men and women, off to fight and die in wars or "conflicts" to protect their interests and or the "national defense." I compare this to a playground. You see two kids, boy:girl, girl:boy, etc; yelling, then shoving and finally fighting. Blood spilling, tooth knocking fist flying fighting and then worse is when each side's friends joins in to fight the other side's friends. Then you got yourself a brawl. This reminds me of how WWI started, small and then because of alliances it spread. Now substitute boy, girl, friends, with country A, nation O, and allies U. It is the same thing. Tribes, villages, nomads, individuals and groups of people have been fighting & killing each other for stupid and justified reasons, such as: survival, land, revenge, family tradition, and the worst NO GOOD REASON!! I have hope in humanity and human history that when reasonable leaders listen to the wise counsel of their advisors do they make better decisions. That leader first must have advisors who are wise so as to not to be told advice from fools. Thank you.
