"Because most of the countries of the world are not actually at war and are not likely to go to war..." I don't agree with that assessment, on many levels - finance, state actors in territorial/resource disputes, national & ethnic issues. Its an 'uneasy peace' for many nations. A time of relative domestic peace (for us) and the sublimation of conflict into market competition, can lead us to overlook the facts. Through history war and conflict seem like a natural condition/disposition. This time is no different to any other.
