Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, describes war as "outdated" in an increasingly interdependent world.

-----

The Aspen Institute and co-chairs Margot Pritzker and Richard Blum, in collaboration with the Conservancy for Tibetan Art and Culture, are proud to present a substantive symposium that embraces Tibetan and Himalayan art, culture, science, medicine, spiritual practice, and history.

The three-day program - featuring His Holiness the Dalai Lama as the keynote speaker - will bring together an extraordinary number of eminent scholars, teachers, practitioners and tradition-bearers from around the globe to shed light on the rich historical and philosophical significance of Tibet and its impact on global issues today - The Aspen Institute

Tenzin Gyatso is the 14th Dalai Lama. He is the head of the Tibetan government-in-exile in Dharamshala, India. Tibetans traditionally believe him to be the reincarnation of his predecessors.

I can find alot more reasons why war doesn't work.

If group A wins over group B, it was the strength of the military and not the strength of the arguments who won. In other words, whether the correct argument wins is completely random.

Also as soon as people start fighting wars, they quickly forget why they started fighting them to start with, and war becomes an animal on it's own.
