Response to Blog Comment #2
Who is to say that conflicts during Machiavelli's time couldn't be solved without war. War could not have been the only way. There were highly educated people in that time period who could have been able to resolve a conflict without a war. Communication was viable and diplomatic solutions could have been possible even if they did not happen often. On the other hand if leaders today followed Machiavelli's idea of always planning for war, we might be able to address our situation In Iraq and Afghanistan without as much killing and destruction

I would like to say that I agree that war is not the only answer, but that would be a ficticious statement. Men were, and still are, stubburn in their ways and thoughts. Communication was extremely limited and sparce, especially between nations on the brink of war. Diplomacy should be promoted as much as possible, but at that time it was not possible. The idea is great if feasible.
