Evolution/survival of the fittest in action, before your very eyes. Nature don't care about feelings!

True, most wars were fought well before capitalism existed, but they were also fought for the same reason--for one group to dominate over another--other types of class societies existed before modern capitalism.

		I disagree w/parts of Jaz's doomsday quotes. I don't think man needs war in some instinctual or genetic way--it's capitalism that needs war. If certain countries don't destroy others through war, their corporations will not be able to stay on top. THe economic laws of capitalism require each capitalist (or group of them) to make MORE profits than others, in order to get a greater market share than their competitors. THis is the main cause of all modern wars--all the other stuff like religion, nationalism, revenge, territory--are just expressions of what the capitalists need. Cases in point: in Iraq the biggest negotiating topic between Iraqi groups and America is over control of oil; in WWII the Europeans were fighting over colonies in Africa, Asia, etc. and the war served to boost capitalism by destroying production (mostly in Europe & Japan, currently the world's stongest economies?) so they could increase profits by rebuilding.
