::If nuclear weapons made war undesirable, then what is the US army doing in the middle east? If anything, I think nuclear weapons just caused us to change the mechanics of war, as many weapon advancements have done in the past. And sadly, I suspect that better understanding won't make war any less desirable (as others have said already). =( --[[Special:Contributions/108.162.216.28|108.162.216.28]] 14:13, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

:: You are trying too hard. Nuclear weapons doesn't fit in "new communication medium" referenced in title text. That could be telegraph, television, phones, e-mails, blogs, Twitter, Facebook, etc... I think the question is not answered to make everyone think in what really cause a war. Although a better communication can make we understand reasons and have better dialogs, they do not eliminate the roots of war like selfishness, no compassion, greed, etc...

One could argue that technology only helps us understand about each other.  Technology cannot help us to understand each other in the sense of appreciate each other.  And to go further, understanding about each other can increase the likelihood of war.  [[User:Grahame|Grahame]] ([[User talk:Grahame|talk]]) 00:39, 12 November 2013 (UTC)Grahame

:::It's not a reference in the strict sense, but it does remind me of the Babelfish from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, in that perfect communication between different people had caused untold war and bloodshed. -Pennpenn [[Special:Contributions/108.162.250.162|108.162.250.162]] 06:08, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
