War and killing is not fun nor is it pleasurable. However, we are not gods, we are humans. And history has shown again and again that those who try to live like high-minded gods have more often than not been the corpses that murderous barbarians are celebrating the death of.

I agree. Become a non warlike culture and a warlike culture will inevitably see you as prey. However, being a warlike culture will leave you open to attacks from others that are in fear of you. On the other side of the cube, if you demonstrate the willingness to defend yourself and your culture and the ability to do so yet take no action upon others, there is a very good chance you will be left alone.
Like it has been said, Cain and Abel, Fight or Flight instinct, whatever is bred in us by god or mother nature or whatever else one may believe in, the fact remains the same:
The strong may survive, but the strongest will endure.
