We could reach a peroid where intelligence ruled over hate. Everyone will have their own beliefs and opinons but it takes a SMART person to repect someone elses beliefs and not kill.
Religion is the #1 reason we go to war
One day we will reach a point where the mass majority of us can just be tolerant of eachother and there be peace. I think perhaps even a greater purpose could be revealed. We could even escape our physical form.

dude, you're right, religion is a huge reason why we have war. But i don't really see our shucking religion anytime too soon. hell, fundamentalist islam is growing and it's direct goal seems to be to stop technological progress.
you've got places like "Jesus Camp" indoctrinating children and filling them with hate and bigotry, and teaching that "science doesn't prove anything".
even if people get more intelligent, religion won't be phased out. it's the sociological nature of people to want to band together. to find like-minded people, and to conflict with other groups.

a higher evolved species of man could still carry his beliefs just not as radically

WRONG.
These days we go to war over resources. And it's been that way for a long long time. There are, right now, in the world, more environmental refugees then war refugees. That is, there are more people fleeing environmental collapse then there are fleeing war.
Think about that for a minute.
Sure the media acts like religion is always a major cause of war. And religion defiantly causes strife, fighting, and even some wars. But, most wars are all about economics.
Maybe they even look ideological(or religious) on the surface, but most are, at their core, all about money, and resources.
And as for what TRB said....

that's true, but mob mentality has nothing to do with the individual man.

The reasons we go to war will always be changing, however it's still the #1 reason for majority of our wars in the past and I definitely see the past repeating itself. I saw on the news today that a Bin Ladin is likely still alive and was rumored to be plotting another U.S. attack. Again this is over religion.

Well that's funny. Cause Bin Laden was a CIA favorite not to long ago. Strange how things change. And yet, literally, stay the same. 
The War on Terror is like a war on clouds. It doesn't mean anything. There will always be clouds. We can't just get rid of them.
But unlike clouds, we can at least TRY, to lessen terrorist attacks.
By, oh... I don't know.... for example, not terrorizing Latin America for countless years and setting up dictators all over that continent with the aid of CIA and hired militias. Not justifying absolutely brutal actions by claiming you were fighting drugs and communism. When all you really cared about was acquiring more capital for Coca-Cola, or Shell.
Maybe we in the west could stop using so many resources, and literally stop ruining the world in not even a 1/16 of the time it took the world to form. Maybe we shouldn't tell people about the dangers of cocaine while spraying toxins all over their countryside because (boo hoo, Johny has a coke problem)... the real reason has nothing to do with addiction. And everything to do with the profits of American corporations.
Food for Peace. Was a program where Americans were encouraged to give money to "help" Columbian farmers switch to alternative crops. Much of it funded by the public. And what did their money buy? Attack helicopters, toxins, and countless other weapons of war. Meanwhile, growing something other then coca reads like a joke to many Colombians.
Because while they could grow these other products like corn, or coffee. They wouldn't make much when they dump their tiny amount of produce onto the world market. Going up against heavily subsidized American businesses while, America berates the world to embrace free trade. (Which could often be called forced trade, bullied into trade, or a trade bribe... but that mess would take to long to get into that right now)
So ya, maybe if America didn't fuck with the rest of the world, much of it wouldn't hate you guys. Not that everyone hates every American. Obviously, especially in a country like mine, Canada, we don't. I really actually feel very sorry for many of you. Especially those of you that are what I would call like minded. I couldn't imagine how intensely certain stories and issues would bother me in America. It's bad enough knowing about them and living here.
But your country acts way to aggressive, arrogant, and petty. And as if that wasn't bad enough. You are beholden to a small group of elites. Not a good mix if you ask me. It's really sad actually. Because with all that money and power you are 72nd in general health. And have deplorable education, literacy, and freedom of the press scores. Not to mention the right to privacy. Hello patriot act. Goodbye last sheds of freedom. It like Rome. So much pride, even as it goes down in flames. No offense. That's just the way it is
Anyway, terrorism is never cool. But it often has causes. And sometimes(often) it can be prevented before it ever even becomes an idea. I'm sick of the idea that if you engage in reflection you are letting the terrorists win. That's utter bullshit. Introspection in not only healthy, in a democracy(a true democracy) it's vital.
Why things happen, cause and effect. That's science. Don't ignore it.
