We should not be evil and kill a few million people or drop 7.2million tons of bomb on Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia like the United States of America. I think the best thing to do is to make friends with people not to kill them in an evil or super super super duper evil way an then they rebel against you an you like "HOLY F..."

As technology advances, new styles of warfare follow along with that compared to a decade or generation ago, which is more efficient and dangerous than older ones. However, even older, mundane, more straightforward tactics can outmaneuver new advanced styles of warfare. No, I don't believe we're advanced enough to end all wars for stronger adversaries would have the same and or better technological warfare methods. Going to war with said adversaries would be suicidal. It could lead to a full-scale war resulting the end of modern civilization, reverting to an age of barbarity and backward society, where people will kill again for food and water.
