Hi Starman,
I think we can minimize what we generally call ''war'', armies out there locked in deadly conflicts, settlements blown up, etc. But war is a fight over resources (food, water, habitat, even ideologies are resources in a way, giving meaning to communities and fighting over flock). Without what we generally call war, there is a fight through other means such as the economy.
We can't have a natural world with species wanting to survive and compete over finite resources
without war. But how the war looks is another thing..
