Enjoy the musical stylings of T-Bone Bell.
New Solution for War

Send WalMart and McDonald's to war-torn, volatile areas. Build major retail distribution centers, complete with warehouses and surrounded by company town-type Section 8 style housing. Provide sites with military protection. Staff stores entirely with locals, pay them standard American wages, and house them locally. See how long it takes for everyone to suddenly stop fighting and, instead, put on a few needless pounds, which they'd then work-off by bargain-hunting for senseless jewelry and tacky domestic decorative items.

Peace.
