#3 I probably should have quoted the penultimate paragraph:

Whatever its causes, the decline of violence has profound implications. It is not a license for complacency: We enjoy the peace we find today because people in past generations were appalled by the violence in their time and worked to end it, and so we should work to end the appalling violence in our time. Nor is it necessarily grounds for optimism about the immediate future, since the world has never before had national leaders who combine pre-modern sensibilities with modern weapons.

#5 Whatever its causes, the decline of violence has profound implications.

Anyone who doubts this should carefully watch "A Clockwork Orange".
