I'd like to think so, but ...
We are still so parochial, greedy, self- centered, and callous to others -- even now -- that I wonder whether we, as a species, have the capacity, given the social structures with which we imprison ourselves.
Unless we all learn the same stories at the same time in our lives we will never avoid wars. It's hard to consider that without constant conflict there is a good chance that humanity would not have developed at all.
There must be lights burning brighter somewhere
Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue
If I can dream of a better land
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand
Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true

War is EXCELLENT stuff for revitalizing economies,
and for rallying dis-spirited nations in da shit,
but best of all for lowering human population levels!
DO YOU have any earthly idea what human population levels would be LIKE,
were it not for the wars of the last 200-300 years???
There will always be right-wing Republican chickenhawks out there who feel the need to send other people's children to kill and die...
I believe there is hope.
We just need one good "cleansing".
War will become obsolete when humankind is extinct on the planet.
Greed, power, pride and predjudices will never end, therefore there will always be war.
As long as they're money and power to be had.
