If either of the other world wars fixed anything, then I might believe a 3rd one would. But nothing was every fixed by those wars. Even some of the most recent wars (like the Balkan Wars) were directly related to punitive actions taken after WW1. After WW2, we have seen non-stop wars and weapons proliferation directly due to post-war ideology. Even the Iran nuclear situation can pretty much be traced back to problems caused by WW2. There really is no separation of these conflicts probably going back to at least the 1800s. It's just a constant evolution of humans fighting. The world pretty much is always at war, just the fronts change and things heat up and cool off sometimes.
Having said that, I do think we are due for something pretty big again soon.
