You are in fact far out on a limb.
War is just what we humans do, its practically a universal across the globe.
We westerners just seem to be very good at it (the ones were weren't good are no longer around to complain), so we win more than we lose and then some of us feel guilty about our fathers, grandfathers, greatX5 grandfathers winning those wars and then think its all our fault.
