Mmm. Interesting that we haven't managed the same with war in all the years of our evolution, isn't it? Ditto bigotry, religious zeal and similar social dividers. Says a lot about the monkey mind if you ask me. Do you really believe we have evolved as creatures to the point where we *can* behave differently? Or are we just swimming in a very different pond?

Don't get me wrong, I think Blair should be shot for getting Britain into someone else's war, but I disagree with the principle that war *can* be avoided entirely, or even restrained in all circumstances. Neville Chamberlain tried that before WWII and nearly got us into a right mess.
