I'll limit "ever" to my lifetime, and I have to doubt it. We now view it as our obligation (post WWII) to meddle, intervene, and manipulate the politics of lesser developed countries and countries with turmoil regardless of the problems we create and the resentment that we foster. There may well be windows of peace in relative terms, but especially with what's been stirred up in the Middle East, I don't see actual peacetime in my life. Comparative to the 2000s, I view the '90s as relative peacetime, even though it really wasn't. If we could return to that I would be happy.
