What do you think? Is his theory correct?

Just from my observations of what goes on in the world, having been around for 71 years, I tend to think his theory is correct. Remember when we faught "the war to end all wars"? How many wars have we faught since then?
Perhaps this is a parallel to Newton's Law: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
