Before 1914 the world was already starting a global society without any political systems to divide them.

Then Franz Ferdinand, Archduke of Austria, was assassinated by a terrorist which started the first half of the great war from 1914 till 1945. It took half a century to restore the global society to the same flow of goods and people like before 1914. It took Europe another World War to finally start the European Union.

Are we now having a new global war thanks to 9/11? Instead of communism and capitalism will we have a competition between Islam Fundamentalism vs. Western Democratic Idealism?

Our global society is still very young and unstable - are these the wars to unite us? Is the horror of war the only way to break down national differences?
