If someone wants to make you "pay" for it, they lie.

Your model needs the ppl to be identical, if you were right, communism would work.

If you find yourself taking other mens live, somewhere far from home - somthing is going utterly wrong. And (!) your probably be infact the "bad" guy, the attacker - NOT the defender.

If materialism, struggle for resource, dominance, simple greed drive the governments around the globe, its of course hard to "keep" peace, LOL since you constantley seek to suppress others!

In history, freedom was never free.
Also the urge to suppress, to dominate, seems to be in our genetic code, at least for some.

Compare an chipmunk family or a wolf pack.

Maybe war is just part of our evolution.

Funny, I dont know of any free country which achieved this status without bloodshed.
Please explain.

Or, maybe wee should discuss the term "free".
The Taliban f.i. probably consider their system very free(and right).
It all lies in the eye of the beholder.

Btw: I am not a psychopath for sure, but a Machiavellian maybe.
