Is War Over?

He notes that there have been no wars between developed nations since 1945, and that other international wars that fit the classic definition — the violent resolution of a dispute between two or more nations — have become exceedingly rare. The number of open armed conflicts around the world, on average, has been declining for years. So, too, have the number of combat deaths and war refugees around the world. Is war becoming obsolete?

The other day on the radio, a British General was talking about British combat deaths in Afghanistan. The total - in the 30s. Yeah. I'm sure more Los Angelinos died between 2002-2009 from crime than the British have lost in the Afghanistan "war."

The hippies should be celebrating.
