I'm not sure about that but what I can tell you now is that we have amazingly progressed on weapons of mass destructions now which are definitely hundreds of times more fatal than those used in WWII. The question is, are we ready to jeopardize billions of lives that exist right now and destroy our future generations before they even exist?
I think people are not bad anywhere in the world. Its the government inciting us all the time, using patriotism to attach strings to us and make us their puppets. I still feel if people started fighting their own governments instead of fighting the rest of the world, the world would be more peaceful.

Well that is a perspective I hear a lot. I'm not sure it is necessarily true but it is not something we can be sure of.

"Sometimes war is inevitable." - Maybe that's what Hitler thought when he started invading countries.

Now you are just being overly dramatic. I could do the same and suggest you are making excuses for Hitler.

I'm not trying to be dramatic. I'm just saying that making decisions based on fear isn't going to help anyone. You can't go around eliminating every threat you find. Why is it that USA always ends up attacking countries based on threats? What happened to every other country that faces some kind of a threat? I'm trying to see the other's perspective as well. Russia is probably also threatened by USA. Should they start attacking first as well?

Very good points. I think it is easy to get locked up in the situation of only seeing it from one side and I am not immune to that - I think it is human nature to get stuck in it sometimes.
