The people decide, collectively.  Borders only limit it to which
people can decide.  Why should I play by a set of rules I had no part
in making simply because I was born inside an arbitrary set of lines
on someone else's map?  One law: do not harm anyone except in self
defense.  Your rights stop where mine start.

You seem to think that borders stop wars by keeping people apart.   I
think if you draw a line in the sand, sooner or later you will have a
fight over who can cross it.  If the line doesn't exist, then no fight
occurs.
