would it be philosophically acceptable to say that war is the cause of the idea that we (western world) have adopted and the world in general has adopted,

the idea of the nation-state

i can see this idea within the school liberalism(not ted kennedy liberalism) and the later neo-liberalist idea of globalization. Kissinger expressed it pretty well
free trade, and interdpence will stop war

but the if you think in the evolutionary path that the world has come to, with technology and our connectivity (comparative amongst)

i think that one day war amongst humans will be minimal and in that time war will be done


i know its kind of star trekie, but it seems that this is the only way to stop war

I don't think it's the nation-state, precisely, but more a basic sort of tribalism. I think that war will end when everyone feels a basic kinship with everyone else.

We aren't sophisticated enough as a species to not doing something as primitive as war.
