[Terminator] Is the future war inevitable?

Despite all the attempts to alter the future through out multiple universes, SkyNet somehow always finds a way to exist.  Is there anything that *hasn't* been tried that they can do to save at least one universe from the nuclear holocaust and war against the machines?

The thing is, there's nothing actually *special* about Skynet. Given the technology to create a superhuman AI somebody will go out and do it. So while you can prevent specific instances of Skynet from being created that just stops that one instance. If the plan by the military to create a nationwide distributed AI had failed then perhaps 10 years later some scientists would have done it on a supercomputer, and if you stop *that* 20 years later any hacker with more brains than common sense will end up creating a version of skynet that runs on a cell phone.

It'd be like if you tried to use time travel to prevent atomic bombs from existing (and thus make it more likely humanity wins). You could stop the Manhattan Project, but then somebody is just going to try to make them in the 50s, then the 60s, and the attempts will keep getting more common as the industrial power necessary to process enough Uranium becomes more widespread. 

That isn't to say it's impossible, but what you need would be incredibly difficult: you've got to get enough widespread support that all attempts to create AI without strict programming are fought against in the normal course of politics.

The best way to do this would probably be to travel back in time and create major Hollywood blockbusters with the central plot that superhuman AIs of the future will attempt to wipe humanity out.
