Hopefully not! Conflict, violence or even war are quite contrary to Buddhist beliefs. Even the emotions of attachment, anger and ignorance - the main resons for conflict - are considered very harmful in someone's mind. For example many meditation practices are intended to reduce and even eradicate these negative emotions in our mind. Emotions like love (wishing others happiness), compassion (wishing others to be free from suffering), equanimity (not feeling exaggerated attachment to friends or anger to enemies) and rejoicing in the happiness of others are to be cultivated if we want happiness for ourselves and others.
