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.

Do you think we, as a species, can go without war for a year? Maybe not indefinitely, but for a fixed amount of time?
If everyone was a real buddhist, war would probably end. I agree, Baraka.
