So I guess its more fair to say that war happens because of greed, and because people just can't shake the urge of putting "might makes right" into practice.
Wars truly are something different now. Back then, most everyone pitched in (out of patriotism, being forced into it by a monarch/dictator, etc). But now we're swiftly and surely approaching a time when wars can be fought purely by technology, where governments can launch wars with the easy press of a button. Impersonal. Don't know if that will make warfare better or worse then, but there's a good chance it might be the latter

PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
