What do you make of wars, revolutions, and protest movements then?

Very few people want to have wars, yet they persist, which kind of proves the GP's point.
People that profit from wars "want" wars. Presumably that means there should be ways then to remove profit motives from wars. Because the majority of people don't want wars, one might assume that it should even be theoretically possible to make that happen in a democracy, at least.
Maybe the people who wanted them got their way, sometimes.
