Sometimes it IS the Obvious.

Has Science Found a Way to End All Wars? an article from Discover a few months back. The ingredients people figure will end war are... well, pretty much what you'd expect. Food, dignity, land, etc... Take away the most common reasons people fight, and guess what, most people won't. And if most people aren't fighting, then you don't have war, you have crime. At worst.

And y'know, even if providing for everyone doesn't end war completely, it'd have plenty of other benefits, so why not try it?

Of course there'll be some nut jobs. But that's not WAR. Violence of some kind or another will probably be around, but that's different than war. And even that can be less common than it is. War and violence have gone down in a lot of ways already.
