In the last 100 years - no two democracies have fought a war.

As more countries become literate - and democratic - peace will continue to spread - spawned by economic inter-dependence. Fewer wars are happening now - than any period in human history.

1000 years ago - there were dozens (if not hundreds) of wars going on in Europe alone.

Now, we see what literacy and democracy has brought there. Peace and inter-dependence.

The rest of the world will follow.

In time.


You look into the future as you look in the past: with your so-called liberal mind confused with dogma and your "eyes wide shut".

The world is not as you want to believe it is; open you eyes for once.


Then tell me please, if you will - which two democratic countries have waged war against one another in the past 100 years?

I believe that what I said is fact - not wishful thinking.
