Visible to anyone in the world

Each war is the war to end all wars.

There is a pause, but then

It all begins again.

Countering the Wheel of War

What ideas can you think of that might slow the wheel or reduce the damage it causes as it revolves?

(That's not a flippant question; I do mean it as a serious one.)

Well I don't know. But Steve Pinker's book 'The Better Angels of Our Nature' makes quite a reasonable case that whatever we might think violence is relatively less common now than in the past, so maybe there are grounds for cautious hope.
