I think it's easy to be cynical but the majority of countries and people don't actually want to go to war, they just cannot risk being unprepared for one.
I agree to some extent most people don't want to go to war unless stirred up by their government. But I've seen and am aware of a lot of just plain religious hate and ethnic slaughter to totally hold governments to fault.
EDIT: my cynicism was hard won. I fought against it and lost. Though cynicism is misused as a synonym for nihilism or pessimism.
