You're really going to attribute war to the antiwar movement, and not to the rise of nationalism? Also absurd is the claim that opposing war is self-centered. How did you deduce that logically?

Grandpa h.
By nationalism do you mean the movement sparked by Napoleon in the early 19th century or nation building itself? Because war has bviously been around far before the former and, if you count tribal massacres and disputes as war, which in my mind they are, the latter. Though at least the peace protesters try, however deeply ingrained, possibly genetically so, warfare is in the human psyche.
