War is a good way of bringing a population down to a sustainable level, before it completely runs out of resources and everyone dies. It also makes sure that the resources then go to the individuals most likely to survive and therefore benefit from them. Nasty, but a good way of not going extinct. The same probably goes for a number of other 'side-effects'
