Looking back at the twentieth century, there was World War I in the teens, the twenties went through with no major war, then you had World War two that started in the thirties and went through 1945, in the fifties we had korea, in the sixties and seventies we had Vietnam, a couple of short wars in the middle east, and in the eighties there was the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, in the 90's we had the 1st Gulf War, the nice little war going on in what used to be Yugoslavia, then in the first decade of the 21st century we have the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Since the beginning of recorded history, there has never been a sustained period of peace anywhere on the planet. That is at least 4510 years! You really think that one war, that epitomizes all that his terrible about war would actually bring about a world government? More likely it would exterminate 3/4's of the earth's population, leave isolated pockets of humanity trying to survive and technology in the toilet. Granted, maybe human would rebuild and build a better world with less pollution etc, but the odds are they will most likely rediscover all the wonderful ways to kill each other.
