Is War a sign of Immaturity?

Has the emotional maturity of men and women evolved even one tiny bit?
You could argue that eagerness for war (even sports events=another form of war)
demonstrates that men and women still prefer "war" to grown-up, rational discussion and debate!
Is not bombing a country to smithereens a much easier way to prove "you're right" than carefully discussing the pros and cons of "war", or entering into negotiations with the enemy?
Do you agree, disagree, or?
 

I'm not sure it's immaturity. I thing men are genetically hardwired to protect and defend, and sometimes that leads to war.
The cruelty, and the kind of atrocities we are seeing in the middle east today is coming from the insanity that developes from decade's of not be able to protect and defend their own for so long.
I know that is a very simplification of the matter, but I'm factoring in the religion or politics.
 
War should be a tool of absolute last resort. War is too often a misused tool frequently moved to the front of the line.
 

Thank you for your interesting comments, Ina and WhatInThe.
I have high hopes for less wars, because parents are not allowed to beat their children anymore; teachers are not permitted to use physical punishment on students.
Shouldn't that mean less violence, less wars, in the future??
 
After the war (attack) has begun, one must join the war itself for self preservation.

Some civilizations start wars because they are being crowded and seeking new territory. Others because of a hatred that has been inbred. Over population has to be factored in also. If only TWO people were left on earth, they'd probably eventually
fight eachother.
 
Immaturity is... When it comes to wars people tend to pray to their Gods for help in destroying their enemies and as usual He never answers but they keep praying anyhow.
