Fighting to survive, responding to threats with aggressive action, does not jump to wars of convenience or war at all. Of course the living will violently DEFEND themselves from perceived attack. We think through enough to build weapons, strategies, armies. We could, with a better will, strategize for peace. Thinking, communicating beings can develop more useful strategies for dispute negotiations. That is once we get over this silly notion that armed conflict is honorable, or inevitable.
