Do we recycle these conflicts that do not advance us in any way or prove any point beside the fact that we can we a brutal species when egos, agendas and greater causes enter the equation, or do we actually learn from the futility of it all?

Not meaning to keep score, but we in the west have a tendency to not realise how horrific the cost of our lifestyle is on the rest of the world, our responce to 9/11 has been to kill 20 or 30,000 Afghan kids, every one has a brother father or uncle that would gladly fly another plane into any building of westerners, we blithely carry on doing the things that cause the hatred without even really recognising it
