My Comment: It seems that war and conflict is deep in our DNA .... it is our nature. Fortunately, most of us have the ability to inhibit it when our nature tells us to be aggressive and /or violent.

The ability to destroy one another on a planetary scale is a great inhibitor .... but will this translate into lesser aggression on a lower level .... hmmmm .... only time will answer this question.
