Roachboy and I have both pointed to the economic basis that supports and furthers war in this country and others. The economy is driven by political ideology. If you agree that war is driven by economics (which is implicit to politics), what do you suggest is necessary to move our economy from a war driven to peace driven economy?
I reject the notion that human "nature" is the source for war. We continue to have some primitive brain stem functions, but our species is primarily distinguished by our intellect. That some would chose to engage in war does not negate the supremacy of intelligence over animal violence. Many of the great leaders over recorded time denounced violence and promoted peace. If war is a part of the human condition, why did the great teacher, Jesus, say otherwise over 2,000 years ago?
