Right Mahendra , you mean like the Hindus having a caste system and butcher each other. There is absolutely no warfare between sunnis and shias unless provoked by non muslims. The persians are a weirdly independent unpredictable bunch , they refer themselves as Shia which means separation from Islam , so they are not Muslims just as you have in PAGAN idol worshipping India, BORA , Khojas, Memon, etc. who refer themselves as Muslims but are not. LOL

Not just wars but endless wars. First it was the native Americans then the annihilation of slaves, then the nukes on Japs , then another 5 million yellow people wiped out and then the attention turned against the Brown people.
The end result is to create all the orphans ,kill the men and turn the women into prostitutes as we see it in Iraq.

Over 1000 US military bases worldwide.
Versus 196 nation of the world (including South Sudan).
It is nice 'belief' America is a peaceful nation.
But the numbers don't lie.

What is the difference between WAR and social and religious differences?
How can bloody class difference be solved i.e. Sunnis and Shiite?
Blumenthal
Yes Erin Burnett is a good example as to why war is inevitable, she is controlled by Wall st , definitely
Jack
I agree with Cohen.He hits the hammer on the head. Erin Burnett is a good example.

I'm bewildered that this series is called
"End of War" when it should be titled "End of War as We Know It". War in all the definitions currently being discussed is obsolete. We will not have
"boots on the ground", we are approaching a worldwide situation where groups of people have been raised from childhood with a hatred of the Western way of life and determined to extinguish
us. This means the use of technology,
special ops, emphasis on intelligence. You will not see one wearing blue, the other grey or a Nazi across the Maginot
Line---Best to adjust.
Cohen
War is inevitable unfortunately due to as Norman puts it PMI - prison military infrastructure , that suffers from moral conspitation
Crush wall st and wars will end
Erin Burnett a transplant from CNBC a wall street channel to CNN pimps war every night against Iran. Stop her.
Bert Gossen
NO, war is not inevitable. The last thing that people want is war. Wars are instigated by people who profit from that, look at Bush and Cheney, the Carlyle Group, look at Krupp supporting Hitler early on, look at them selling weapons to every party and then reaping the spoils. Normal people have nothing to gain and to lose everything. Take away the power and the hate propaganda sponsored by the people who profit and there will be no more wars.

It is ridiculous to say that more democratic nations are more peaceful.
Case and point:
the world's largest war monger...
America
Norman
As long as Wall st exists wars are never going to end.
When General Casey a general under Bush cheney crime syndicate comes out and says " the NY money people are pushing us into another war " ( with Iran) then there is no doubt that wars will continue without end.
General Eisenhower refers to the Military industrial infrastructure as the cause for wars. Who runs it - wall st which has corporate america in its pocket.
Now referred to as PMI - prison military infrastructure which suffers from moral constipation.
Evie Elman
War will cease once the people causing it feel loved.

My heart says no, but my head says yes. I think Barbara's thesis is a strong one; however the data is stacked against her.
Jane Griffin
In order negate the idea that war is inevitable is to make Peace profitable. The military industrial complex is far to powerful and makes far too much money.
S. Foster
I think war is unforeseeable and, on the road to peace, we must at times climb the mountain of conflict.
Dr. Aalai
Until a fundamental change occurs regarding the conditioning of man, there may appear to be no seeming end of warfare. However, I am inclined to write that no, war is NOT inevitable. Man is endowed with the capacity for both good and evil in equal measure. The incentives that drive decision makers to wage war must change if we are to endure as a species. Man is hesitant to kill, and it takes systematic conditioning to enable him to wage war, but even that conditioning is temporary. War is not inevitable.
Rosa
Yes. War is inevitable. So long as there are limited resources, there will always be war.
oscar
Easy...just kill "end" zionism
