Why has international war become more uncommon and unpopular since World War II? Sure some states still meddle in others\\u2019 civil wars or launch cyber offensives, but overall the world is experiencing an unprecedented era of peace. Some international relations experts claim that U.S. adventurist foreign policy has held off international war. This week\\u2019s guest, Ohio State University political scientist and Cato\\u2019s own John Mueller, argues against that premise in his new book The Stupidity of War: American Foreign Policy and the Case for Complacency. He says that after two world wars, most people have realized that there are better solutions to disagreements than international war.
