Not any capitalism I've ever heard of. (I'm talking ideal systems here, war seems to happen in almost every type actual society war seems to happen some how.) All it says is that "market forces" and competition will cause an ecomony to grow, it says nothing about war. The idea that "capitalism causes war" is based in some assumptions and some actual conditions.
If you want a system that in ideal conditions comes closest to needing war, I guess military rule. Otherwise, it seems that military rule, monarchies, and feudal systems, will most easily cause war. Some racist or "Nationalist" ideas seem to lead to wars as well, and yes, businesses will force wars somtimes. I wouldn't say, though, that systems with some parts of a business based economy have to lead to war any more than anything else.
