Guys,
There will always be conflict in the world. Total, complete peace is as much as dream as an absolute paradise. Yes, there may be a happy medium that wil be met, but history has proven that there is no such successful outcome without mistakes and struggle. Democracy has its problems, too. Don't ever forget that. But a society that is truly peaceful and without any sort of conflict is a Masterpiece Society, a society that exists only in dreams because it does not include everyone and is not human. It exists only when mankind's imperfections are removed. I may be naive by saying that it isn't possible, it may be. But right now, mankind as a whole has not yet reached that step in the evolutionary proccess. Perhaps in the future mankind will reach that phase. Until then, we are the simple victums of our own imperfections and the fact that we are what we are: human.
