It's not a matter of sin, but of our nature. We grow restless if life is too easy, seeking a way to discharge our violent impulses. War gives us the chance to do that, and the destruction brought by it gives us a need to band together to rebuild. WWII for example brought relative peace to Europe for the first time in history. The problem with war is that recently it has become a game of cowards behind desks, rending it sort of useless and more draining than anything else.</html>
