How to Stop Future Wars...
Simply require elected officials, the people with the power to vote for or against a war, to enlist their children for combat duty.

One law and no more war.

1. Making glass out of sand
Wouldn't that just decrease the number of viable candidates? The other problem would be we would still get the GW's of the elite world. I think some kind of reduced war profiteering law or anti-Halliburton legislation or better yet require proof for war. That would stop it.
Nuke the whales save the world.

2. I totally agree with the all of your points but...
Stop the War Profiteering!

War should not be privatized.

If no one made a profit from war this would be a better world.
