War? We don't have war. We've gone from wars to political corrections to police actions to opening new, (& cheaper), markets/production/job export sites to defending democracy, (by forcing it on 'weaker' countries). Who wants to lose any of these essential manifestations of piety & power?
War - whatever pretty package it's put in - will continue. It's a modern version of ancestor worship, keeping alive a major albeit arcane activity from the old days (when any universal apocalyptic destruction was impossible outside of cheap sci-fi novels).
Now that we are phasing to an international feudal system based on corporate fiefs and religions of ease and convenient simplicities, (well,post-modern, western Christianity at least), amid growing shortages of essential resources, (ie, food, water, space & toleration), and world-wide natural disasters, war will become even more 'morally' justifiable. We all have a right to live, right? And living today requires hoarding, waste and ostentation as much as it requires self-preservation, right?
I guess I'm saying Yes, war will end just as soon as humanity is totally incapable of repeating history. IOW, war will end just as soon as humanity ends.
Until then, there will always be another ally-cum-evil dictator to depose or WMD-intense sandbox for our kids, grandkids great-grandkids ... to be disabled/die in. And there are plenty of useless petitions to sign and inane but safe polls to take for those too old/unable to defend their 'hood. After all, the beat must go on, again.
What other legacy can we -- ANY of us -- possibly pass on to our descendants?
