You might want to pick up on roachboy's qualifications before you make those kinds of statements.
So you think the US Civil War was based on right vs. wrong? Let me guess why: you think slavery was the sole reason behind the war?
Also, I asked for "several" examples. Some non-US wars would be helpful for your argument... wars without pre-recorded moral superiority that has been passed down through 8th grade and 11th grade high school US History education (and yes, I taught 11th grade history, so I know where the indoctrination comes from).
"Most people in the world get along?" Really.
