Gee, maybe we can be done with it, since we've been doing it so long, and it's had so many adverse consequences?

Firstly, I dont condone war or violence, I think we are smart enough to resolve issues without it now.
But generally speaking, there are massive benefits if youre the winner in a conflict. New resources, new land, new labor force (assuming you dont wipe everyone out completely), reinforcement of your culture and ideaologies, and more. Theres a reason violece is inherit to human nature, it has a long history as a viable and successful strategy.
