1/ Of course it is INEVITABLE! Why else would so many groups persist in engaging in activity that kills, maims and impoverishes entire countries? We even invent falsehoods to rationalize and popularize such wars (e.g., Iraq). Plus, it's a lot easier for people to get rich by making armaments than by not making them; making money is a powerful incentive to making war.

2/ No, humans will not stop FIGHTING WARS – not ever! Not while men have testosterone streaming through their bodies. In fact, they can't even stop fighting with one another in general, and even occasionally attack women!

Sad comment on the state of human affairs? Or perhaps just the flip side to sex and procreation? In the end, it doesn't matter much... War is the single greatest impediment to the welfare of mankind.
