History tends to support that statement. Things tend to happen in cycles, right now things are pretty stable (relatively speaking) and will probably remain so for at least another 20-30 years. A large portion of the worlds power rests in the hands of a small number of nations and none of them are particularly interested in starting a major war anytime soon.
The issue will arise when power becomes more equalized between alot of countries. Competition to be top dog will take over then, particularly if those countries are driven by religion or forcing other countries to adopt their style of government.
So for now your fine.
