even if done it wouldn't do much good for several reasons but the main reason would be mans thirst for power.

I said every war now.  Not every war ever or in the future.  It's the undisputed number one thing people are fighting about in the world today, and if you take that out, then there would be at least a temporary peace, and most likely less wars in the future.

i'm going to give you more credit for this post then anyone else posting in this thread, but the only way to stop wars is for man kind to be programed.

i'm also glad you said temporary peace, and likely less wars. i hate to think no matter what: someone somewhere in the world would be left out nothing will ever be equal and this has nothing to do with religion.

Very true.  Jealousy and misunderstanding and fear are what drive wars.  Religion now, and in the past has contributed to much of those three things, but even without religion, man's desire for control will always cause wars.  What we need is a great unifier, and the only thing that can do that now is space travel, but we haven't really done much as far as technological advancement with space travel since the moon missions.  We still can't put a man on Mars yet, and the moons of the gas giants are out of reach for us outside of little probes.  It won't be in our lifetime that mankind comes together.
