What I was implying is that just because there were wars waged in the name of nationalism, does not mean that getting rid of it would solve anything, there is no proof for that. I might wage a war against your country in the name of nationality or whatnot, but what I really want is your lands, I'm just making the nationality part up, so that my campaign doesn't look bad. Also if you get rid of everything that people waged wars for, not much would be left. People waged wars for freedom, you want to get rid of that? You might also say that beliefs are the problem, let's just get rid of those, however without believes I would probably find it acceptable to just go and attack your people for your lands and riches. As you can see there is more to it, and we are just scratching the surface. Last time I have checked the US, Americans were pretty patriotic, and incidentally fought a war for independence and another one for freedom...
