Summary/Abstract: Unconventional confrontations, especially asymmetric ones, no longer have demarcation lines between belligerents. Internal and terrorist confrontations tend to amplify, as long as the dissatisfaction of a part of states’ population related to their own government, caused by the diminishing of the level of life and culture and by the economically unsustainable population growth and the increasing level of illegal immigration. Armed defense is not the most important part of state’s security but it is one of its basic components, this being the reason why it must not be neglected. Fear of direct and potential enemies has never been a good adviser. The power of a state is build on the basis of a strong internal cohesion, real and consolidated democracy and of a developed and competitive economy. Education is one of the ways that could reduce the number and the intensity of conflicts by increasing knowledge and understanding of other people.
