War of any real significance is almost impossible.
Tell the Syrians that their war is "insignificant".

Count the bodies.
​
You will find that the numbers are hardly worth the notice if you compare them to other epochs and conflicts.
Tell the Syrians that the bodies of their children are "hardly worth the notice".

If the death toll was higher then the major powers just going into action today would have gone in a lot sooner.
Or... the major powers might occasionally realize that killing people isn't the answer to every problem.

We do not see a lot of people joining ISIS and that is why we are taking our time in ridding ourselves of that nuisance force.
"We" are losing that battle.

Do you really think the world insane enough to ever go into WWIII?
What does that have to do with the topic?

Out of context and if that is all you have then go away.
How the hell is that out of context? You're using body count as an indicator of a "new order". I'm pointing out how ridiculous your premise is.

It is out of context because we are analysing numbers.
Analyzing numbers is a ridiculous method for determining whether or not we have a new order. What's the threshold for "new"? If the number of people who die next year declines again, do we have a "newer" order?
​
You need to establish a cause-and-effect relationship between wars/deaths and order, not just a correlation (if there even is a correlation). Show us that the body count is declining because of a new order.

You can either show you have manners as they relate to your last post or bite me.
You can either discuss the topic or run away. Let's try again:
