While I don't exactly agree with the previous statement about the bombing of
Japan (historically speaking the defeat of the Japanese army in Manchuria
followed by the approaching Russian army were a greater factor in ending the
war then the nuclear weapons the US employed), it is an unfortunate irony
that most of humanities most brilliant advances come out of conflict.
Though I do wish it wasn't true, look at the advances you benefit from:

Western medicine would still be using leaches if it weren't for the
advancements made during the first world war (and in the US, the civil war
was a huge factor).

Air travel was not very useful until its value for scouting (followed
closely with bombing) units was found. (Of course this covers turbine
engines, space travel, etc...)

The way I'm talking to you now is over the new 'ARPANET', a fine by-product
of the atomic age cold war machine.

Architectural, Sea-Fairing, and Energy producing technologies are a few
other examples of other technologies we take for granted that came to us
through suffering. Not to mention the cores of our civilization, printed
word and music, have also benefited.

If it were at all realistic, I'd be the first naked (frightening quite a few
people as my wife would no doubt point out) pagan to run around laughing in
the forest hugging every tree, being peaceful with my neighbors, giving away
all my possesions, and abandoning all vestiges of competition. Alas, that is
not the world we live in, nor has it ever been.

Don't let me interefere with your dreams though, whatever you are doing
towards peace will certainly make the world a better place, on any scale!

What??? You can't talk seriously. Bowling for
Columbine is a movie people should watch. It shows you
where the horror of the world comes from. Excuse me,
but PEACE is what makes the world a better place.
