It comes down to the realization...fight first, talk later...or talk first and prevent fighting later. That's the decision.

Will humans ever learn this? I certainly hope so.

You don't live in the real world. Just look at the world today, people fight in the name of God and other ridiculous things, just like they always have. What do you do if North Korea attacks another country, talk to them? What if you live under a dictator in Africa, are you going to talk to him or try to get rid of him? There are bad people out there, unfortunately some of the people that claim to represent the good are often part of the problem.
