I can't believe I'm the first one to say this. It's a political science staple:
War is the prosecution of politics by other means
As long as we have politics, we will have war. People have conflicts. Nations have conflicts. Until you can stop bar fights, gangs and professional basketball, you'll have war.
Will, you have a noble goal, albeit unattainable. It is certainly something to work toward so long as you understand that it will never happen in your or any of your decendant's lifetimes, just like poverty. I see nothing wrong with trying to wipe it out so long as you realize that someone will always have something that someone else wants.
