Can there be peace when there is diversity? If not there will be war. War is not good...we need to learn how to work and live together. The opposite of that is just too dreadful to think of.

I disagree. I think that the organizing powers of hatred and love act within their sphere to destroy individual and group.
Not necessarily group. Hatred seems to feed on taking down individuals as well as groups.

But is difference enough for war? Humm, I am not wise enough to know the answer to this for sure, but I suspect from history, it is one of, if not, the key driver for war.
In a world dominated by the thinking of economic rationalism, your Dilbert quote is painful to say the least.
