As long as we view violence as the default solution to every problem, "problem solvers" themselves will remain The Problem.
Almost always, violence is rooted in simian chest-thumping, not remedy.
No one -- not even amateur historian friend, retired Air Force general, AWC -- knows why World War I really started.

We do know, however, that the insanely punitive terms of The Versailles Treaty (which put formal end to World War I) so rankled the German people -- already dealing with The Great Depression -- that Aryan resentment over the supercilious terms of the Treaty became the root cause of World War II.
We will soon learn if the creation of modern Israel -- a key component of World War II's "resolution" -- becomes the cause of World War III.
And finally, Einstein's insight: "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought but we know that World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."
