Has there ever been a time when that wasn't true?

It will always be true and it will occur more and more often as the population of the world continues to increase. Eventually drinkable water will outweigh all other reasons for conflict with the possible exception (as always) of religion.
I am not a tree hugger but I do need trees.. My point being that there are only so many resources in the world to go around and with a world population going north of 7 billion all resources are impacted. The "Ganges River" area is likely the start area for the next world war and within the next 20 years as the water cannot support all the people that use it.
These types of resource fights will happen more and more as population soars.... If you dont like what you see now just wait.... I guess the only up side for our nation is the Ganges is on the other side of the planet and we wouldnt have a lot of reason to participate in a fight over it.
