As in people would not be getting killed like ALL THE TIME and EVERYWHERE if that general had not been murdered?

As in humanity has been at peace and loving each other for all of its history and now that this general was murdered thing will change?

If you don't want to see humans kill other humans over bruised egos, I'd say the best advice is to not be a human at all. Yeah I know, I made the same mistake too, I was born and I'm human too. Being born, obviously my biggest mistake...

As for cyber attacks, that's ok. Last time I've heard of some DDOS attack, nobody died as a result, only a website or two and you can't even call that a dying website as sooner or later that website would be back online alive and kicking, in fact if all wars were cyber wars, your wish of not seeing people die would come true.

Your facetiousness isn't helping you. 

Do you understand escalation? 

And, no I'm not talking about simple DDoS attacks on a dying web site. If that's your understanding of cyber warfare, you are not paying attention. Imagine having the power grid shut down.  Or a nuclear power plant's thermal safety features being turned off.  Or patient medical records getting wiped. DDoS attacks are child's play.  We do that to each other at work.

If Americans (and others too) are dumb enough to put super sensitive systems like nuclear power plants' thermal safety features accessible online, then maybe they are too dumb to even be in charge.

Same with people's medical records, if hospitals are so dumb that they can't think about keeping OFFLINE backups, then again they are asking for trouble.

And I do understand escalation, but you don't seem to understand human nature. This general's death is just a pretext for escalation, humans will find any excuse to make war, to kill, to take power etc. They don't need the death of some general to start conflicts of all kinds.

And I don't mean my facetiousness as some kind of argument to help me, by it I only mean to say "I don't care about humans enough to be involved in a serious way in their endeavors".
