Rubbish.
Trash.
Nonsense.
Crapola.
The belligerents in the French Revolution spoke a common language. The
belligerents in the English and American Civil Wars spoke a common
language. The belligerents in the American Revolution (not counting a
handful of Hessians) spoke a common language. Gang-bangers who shoot
holes into each other usually speak a common language. The leaders of
the Wars of the Roses spoke a common language.
The idea that a universal Auxlang will lead in any way to world piece is
unsubstantiable twaddle. Indeed, it is actually contradicted by the
witness of history. A shared language is no guarantor of, nor even an
impetus towards, peace.
