Scientist makes bold prediction that war is on the wane

'It may be difficult to believe, but according to research published next month a world without war may be getting nearer.

Futurologists from the University of Oslo in Norway and the Peace Research Institute Oslo have predicted that global conflict will halve in the next 40 years.

Their study claims the combination of higher education, lower infant mortality, smaller youth cohorts, and lower population growth are a few of the reasons why the world can expect a more peaceful future.

That will mean in the next five years the current conflicts in Libya, Tajikistan, Syria, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Mauritania and Iraq will probably be over, the research suggests.

As the risk of war decreases worldwide, by 2017 it will be greatest in India, Ethiopia, the Philippines, Uganda and Burma.

And by 2050, as the number of countries at war falls from one in six to one in 12, the risk of conflict will be greatest in India, Nigeria, Sudan, Ethiopia and Tanzania.'

Throughout the world, how many of the wars that are currently going on are based on an Islamic aggressor, and a resistance? As long as we have Islam, and we have civilization - there will be a war. This war is not because of civilization infringing upon Islam - but on Islamic belief of world domination.

The choice is simple - submit, or die.

He's right, but not for the reasons he thinks. There is one really big battle left.

I guess "futurologists" don't consider it beneficial to look at history as a guide. How about, "The War to End All Wars". That worked out well, not.

And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

Yea Right

What a Crock of BS.the last three Great Wars have occurred during a period where the Billigerants were highly educated,As such they were also Technologicaly advanced for that period.

The Chance for war is increasing.Not decreasing.These idiots can dream on but its best to maintain supremacy in every militaty technology and keep your powder dry.
