In a scenario where war is inevitable, I'd like to see a future where
everything was automated, so we just get robots and remote control mega toys
of various kinds slugging it out. The Geneva Convention could be altered to
make it a war crime to actually use human combatants, to harm civilians in
war, or to allow civilians to be placed in a situation such that they must
become casualties of war (you want to stop both the attack of civilians and
the use of civilians as human shields).
That's actually be fun to see on TV every night...
