I guess it's all relative. I don't know if countries are necessarily at war just because they have problems with some of their citzens. Turkey, and Iraq between wars are examples. Saddam kept the lid on tribal rivalries pretty successfully. As did the communists in the Balkans during the Cold war. In fact, a lot of the wars that have occurred since the end of WWII (and there were a lot of them) pretty much happened because the system of government fell apart with the end of European colonialism. The iron fist was hardly ideal, but it was often very effective.
