War Is The Natural State of Man

It is important at this point to address the very issue of war. Throughout history, war—and not peace—has been the permanent condition of man. In their book “The Lessons of History” written in 1968, historians Will and Ariel Durant calculated that there had been only 268 years free of war in the previous 3,421.2 Their statement attests to the fact that over 90% of recorded human history has involved war. Since that declaration was made thirty-five years ago, war has been a permanent part of our global landscape. We had the Cold War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, the Kosovo War, and now the War against Terrorism and the impending conflict with Iraq. There have been other wars around the globe, the Iran-Iraq war, the Russian War in Afghanistan, and numerous smaller wars that are now referred to as LICs (low-intensity conflicts). At the time of this writing, Jane’s Terrorism & Security Monitor lists 17 flashpoints around the globe from the US to Indonesia, Pakistan, North Korea, Columbia and Venezuela.3
