Saya selalu teringat dengan tulisan jendral Perancis Claude Le Borgne "La guerre est morte" (Perang itu sudah mati - artinya berakhir...).
Makanya juga saya pengennnya Indonesia itu dinyatakan bebas militer. Serdadu itu cuman bikin susah doang dan ngabisin duit... http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20121109-is-world-peace-possible BBC Future 12 November 2012 Is world peace possible? Tank in Kuwait with a rainbow above it (Copyright: Getty Images) (Copyright: Getty Images) We have witnessed fewer and fewer wars between countries since 1945, and so there is no reason to doubt that they could disappear like other horrifying acts. Psychologist and cognitive scientist Steven Pinker at Harvard University thinks it is completely conceivable that wars between countries might go the way of slave auctions, debtors' prisons and other barbaric customs. He argues that while there is plenty of violence around the world, and more ways of killing each other, we have witnessed fewer and fewer wars between countries since 1945. Not only, is war is at an all-time low, rates of homicide are far lower than they were in the Middle Ages, and issues like domestic violence are no longer seen as being acceptable. At the recent Singularity Summit in San Francisco, he told BBC Future about how we are predisposed to be violent but how we are also predisposed to be peaceful. There are some parts to the brain that impel us to carry out violence, such as the thirst for revenge, feelings of tribalism, or the quest for dominance. But packed into the same skull there are motives that inhibit us from violence, like empathy and reason that allow us to see violence as a problem to be solved instead of a contest to be won.
