truth is, yeah, a lot of people bring down the rest of us, but people are learning from the mistakes of past wars. oh, and, by the way, most of the world's most important inventions came about as a result of wars. Pennicillin, Aircraft, Freeze-dried meals, Automobiles, and even the humble yo-yo owe a lot of or all their development to wartime.
If you ask me, the main cause of war is religion. as long as there are certain religions who can't "play nice" with the others, there will always be some "Holy War" of "Jihad" or "Crusade".
tl;dnr War has helped mankind more than Religion has.
