Babylon-5 has a lot of the moral elements that Star Trek has, the war being about the right to decide your own fate, and when it came to the big battle, it was decided with few shots fired.

to Star Trek Kiddy you said "Its almost as if the utopia and peace demonstrated on a starship is reflected here - even if only in a small way - which is really exciting, because maybe my "dream star trek life" is possible here and now."
Well to be serious for a moment: Well I don't know we have had our share of conflicts like the time the UP Forum got shut down after a massive conflict and we had other troubles conflicts, and wars, but we mostly respect others options, well at least most of time and if your not speaking of ship lengths .
Ok back to my goofy mode: Kosh wasn't the Shadow War ended without weapons but with ideas. Also I don't see how B5 was about the War when it only lasted two seasons (the War I mean). Well B5 isn't the most extremely hopeful look into the future, but it isn't the bleakest, It really sounds like jms thinks the future will be a lot like it is now, maybe a little better, but not a lot better. Honestly it sounds more realistic that the model governed by Star Trek because I honestly don't see Technology changing our minds that much.
