But men give their life's work to war. It won't stop 'til there is as much brains and scientific study put to aid peace as there is to promote war. Take diplomacy out of a war and the thing would fall flat in a week. You can be killed just as dead in an unjustified war as you can in one protecting your own home. People don't change under governments.
People remain the same.
As bad as we sometimes think our government is run, it is the best run I ever saw. Nowadays it is about as big a crime to be dumb as it is to be dishonest. There is no income tax in Russia. But there's no income. We elect our Presidents, be they Republican or Democrat, then start daring 'em to make good.
