Caused By Greed

War has been the excuse people have made throughout history to take something away from others that didn't belong to them.  And it's a never ending cycle.  First one group takes away something from the other, then the other wants to take it back, only if they succeed, they take much more.  And then it starts all over again.  War is caused by greed.
