Please provide historic examples of independence (in the form of a nation, or nation - state)gained from an absolute abandonment of anything violent. Also, point out how to eliminate "incentives" for going to war (or human perceptions thereof).
History is on my side,along with human nature. Your Utopian ideals are nonsense and do not contain a shred of realism.

If he mentions Ghandi as an example, I'll probably throw myself off a bridge.

Its as simple as identifying trends. Reality doesn't stay the same forever, you know? Things change. There is a natural force known as evolution that is evident in stuff.
Its more subtle than that. Anyone who will only define how reality will be tomorrow, five years, fifty years down the line, only within the framework of what has already existed, no consideration of the potential that exists within all things, is not really paying attention to the nature of reality.

I'm not a psychologist or sociologist.........what I do know is that humans have been killing humans since the dawn of time; whether for political, economic, or whatever.....its just a fact.
