Wasn’t World War 1 called “The War to End all Wars”, I think for a couple of decades (until they repopulated).

These poor “scientists” are either very stupid or don’t have access to any news about what is going on in the world.

Of course we won’t have any more war. It was outlawed in 1928 by the Kellogg Briand pact. Duh!

That's because they don't count it as war when governments murder their own citizens, which socialist/communist countries always do.

And make no mistake, Obama's "fundamental change" of America makes us a socialist/communist country.

I want it all gone. People, buildings, books, and goats. Right down to the memory it ever was. Banished. Obliterated. Annihilated. For all time.

war, by any other name, is still war.

I guess "futurologists" don't consider it beneficial to look at history as a guide.

The number of wars, and deaths from wars (particularly per population) has been steadily declining for decades already.

An individual human being on Earth has less chance of dying violently today than at any point in human history.

Well, war between independent sovereign states has become almost non-existent - everything is a civil war, really.

Egypt is a huge net importer of wheat—Islam in this case cannot feed itself.

Where does the cash come from to pay for the wheat?

Ah, one of those wonderfully happy pipe dreams of many a leisure hour.

Personally, when I’m inclined toward fantasy, I prefer to be on a yacht with a dozen bathing beauties.

It’s more down-to-earth, and far more likely.

As socialism/islamism grows and spereads, the wars will just take on a different tone - instead of being agains opposing countries, they will be between the governments and the peoples. IOW, the world will become “third-world” en-toto.

I agree. I guess this “scientist” doesn’t count repression and internal struggles as “war”.
