In the case of wars
Forgive me if I'm grossly mistaken about this.
When we have a disagreement between nations, our leaders cannot just sit down and just talk about it (because the other parties are always made up of idiots who refuse to see reason, i.e. give us what we want without question).
We need to war. We kill their people and raze their buildings. They do the same to us. Finally, when one side cannot take it anymore, it surrenders.
The winner has the advantage in the talks now, and the loser must concede to most of, if not all, the conditions laid down by the winner (if it refuses, kill some more people and raze more buildings).
Thus we have peace again.
Question: why can't we simply have the leaders play Scissors, Paper, Stone with each other? Or arm wrestling or something?
