Well, I just completed reading some interresting books (Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke, Fukuyama) and visited the PNAC (http://www.newamericancentury.org). Many of these people predict that a state can only be succesfull if it’s in a state of war. Admitted, Europe became number one in the world in the 15 century because of internal conflicts. But looking at Israel where peace is not even thought of anymore, just security. Living in Europe today, it’s difficult to imagine being threatened by your neighbouring countries.
But is it worth living without peace? Always being in a state of war? Is it still possible that have a normal life lets say in a rich country like Israel?
