I don't understand the way people can neglect history, and pretend that the world will live peacefully ever after from now on.

The world is relatively peaceful because the US is more powerful than all other nations combined.

I'm sure if you asked the people who signed it, they would think this is a bad thing too.

This not true. The US and it's allies are constantly at war somewhere in the world. Chomsky has written extensively about this

That is relatively peaceful compared to a world war.

World Wars have not been the normal state in history.
