[QUOTE="clubsammich91"]The only way to peace is a free market system, for example: England and France hate each other and in the past went to war constantly, but now that they are trading goods with each other there hasn't been a single war between the two. Why? Because one country needs the other in order to make money. That's right, I believe Globalization and the want and desire to get rich is helping to keep the peace.hamstergeddonThat's bull. England and France haven't fought since the downfall of Napoleon in 1812. The reason for that is the advanced politics of alliances, non-aggression treaties, mutual enemies, etc. France and England traded with each other both before and after and between their many and numerous wars. Trade can't stop anything. The wonderful free market isn't the answer to everything. Those could have all easily fallen apart (as most non aggression acts do) But you can't deny that one country's urge to destroy it's neighbor is far outweighed by it's urge to make cash of that neighbor.
