Would There Be War Without Mathematicians?

When i was 12 or 13, i asked the satoi what the world might look like if the mathematicians were in charge? I do think it would probably be a much better place. It's worth pointing out that napoleon was one leader who was quite inclined toward mathematics. He is often credited with having discovered a geometric theorem related to equilateral triangles. So marcus de soto's vision of a world without war is perhaps imperfect.
