In order for Star Fleet to happen, we'd need WW3.

Why do you think WW3 would finally inspire us to stop killing eachother? What makes you think there will be anything left?

Haven't you watched Star Trek first contact? They talked about WW3 destroying governments so Cochrane built a Star Ship from an old ICBM with warp drives. Once they go faster than light, Vulcuns visit us and boom... We're a space exploring species. Peace ensues.
