Can the impulse to engage in war be tamed?
Of course it can. California and Oregon haven't started any wars against each other lately,
and it doesn't likely in the future either.
The relations between states in the USA is peaceful. European countries, which were plagued
by endless war for 2,000 years, are at peace with each other.
It's only demagogues who are a danger. Regrettably, the American legal system has a failure
that allows someone like Bush to start a war. The Congress was asleep and the press has
silenced itself.
Someday, there will be universal peace. It won't be Lawrence's version of "universal peace",
where the darkies have been either cowed into slave-like submission or blasted by nuclear
bombs. There will be a real peace, where everyone works constructively to build a better
society.
