"Are you saying by exploring world history, every war ever fought could have been avoided?"

No, because the parties did not want to. They were dominated by their feelings of fear, revulsion, threat, wish to punish, wish to threaten, wish to forestall.....whatever.

BUT: YES, any war can be avoided if the parties genuinely seek peace, not war, and are prepared to:

-- understand each other
-- take each other into account
-- cooperate
-- tolerate

It absolutely works if the parties wish it to and absolutely doesn't if they don't.

Namaste!

Jim
