Most of the most important innovations in history (especially in the hardware and electronics space) were motivated by increasing defense capabilities, so although its great to pretend that humans can coexist peacefully, that is not the reality...and this also ignores the fact that many of these technologies can have positive impact on the world outside of the defense space, once they mature.

Examples : ARPANET, semiconductors, radar, GPS, etc, etc, etc

I'm sure mankind and fish can coexist peacefully at least. After all, Bush would never lie.
