Sex sells. Women's bodies are even used to sell products in the gay/lesbian community. Human nature trumps everything. Especially any puny societal/political threory that intellectualism can come up with.

It's human nature to use power to dominate or abuse other humans. Certainly we aren't to just accept that, are we? Forget about abusive rulers around the world, it's just human nature? But, so what?

And, while greed and envy are, the method of aquisition is a learned behavior. I would not kill to get a Lamorghini, but someone else might. The key to stopping violence (such as war) is not to change human nature but to make the consequences so vile that people don't take it to that level. Take our invasion of Iraq. Iran let the UN in once they saw that we would follow up on our promises and the Norks now want to talk (they remembered that they were on the same list as Iraq). Even a crazy, poofy haired dictator and a group of men who think that they are earthly bound demi-gods saw the writing on the wall after that. Sadly, Jimmeh Cahtah wants to take his fingers out of his nose and get them in Nork pie and the UN kid gloved the Mullahs. So much for the born-in need to defend. I guess that some methods of changing the weaker parts of human nature have proven successful on the weak minded. Actually, war/murder/destruction is not a born-in instinct.
