You just reinforce the point of Elise's column then, don't you. A very dangerous world is what constant war has wrought. I can't remember who it was but after 911, someone suggested instead of going to war in Afghanistan, we should carpet bomb the entire country with relief, with food, medical supplies, blankets, alternative reading material (propaganda), etc. It would have been an interesting experiment. Who knows what it might have accomplished? They say the first step to promoting advancement in any civilization is providing education and birth control to the women. It's also a lot cheaper than war material...
