Good article, structured on the realist idea that the international system is about the balance of power. I don't buy the justification though, scientific study of evolution won't answer questions of war. I find it hard to believe that war is inevitable, even as a realist.

After years of investigation, authorities still don’t know if it’s the work of a serial killer or multiple offenders. BOB FRIEL drives into the darkness for answers.
