Not while countries are in competition with each other. Most
wars are economic at heart whatever the blather that
accompanies them. It's only recently that ideology got
caught up in it. Even the first world war was, in the words
of George from Blackadder, 'to end the vile empire building
of the Hun', in other words to protect British economic
interests. The German's were looking to expand their's.
Besides, MAD doesn't prevent war, it just postpones it.
Sometimes we're lucky and it postpones it long enough for
the enemy to crumble under internal pressure, sometimes
we're not and they start marching (or we do).
