Yes. Until and unless human beings give up their apparently universal addiction to religion and the notion of an afterlife, war will be with us. As long as we can maintain a moral justification for war -- i.e., god is on our side and the enemy is the devil -- as well as believing in an ultimate heavenly reward for dying -- we will continue to massacre each other. And religion's first cousin, nationalism, would have to go by the wayside too. Religion and nationalism going away? Not likely. War? Inevitable.
