In Response To Austin Swank

Austin I have to disagree on the fact that war is nothing more than just our animal agressions rising in us, or that it's a cowardly way out from peace. Sometimes war is necessary, to preserve ones own dignity as a country. War is one country preserving their rights against another, or trying to impose their will upon another. There is no other way to put it. Everyone in the world feels as if their ideals and visions are the right ones; and why not? Why should one person's view be any better than the next. They could both work in the same way. That's what countries think about. There is no other way in the world these days to impose your will or protect your rights. Humans become more increasinly hostile as the years progress mostly due to world events. After 9/11 it seems americans have taken it in their hearts to cleanse the entire middle east. America as a nation was shattered when the twin towers felt, and retaliation was in order. I can understand that under the heat of the moment you would want to send you're entire country into war, but after a while this war you have started becomes a mistake. Countries with pride like the United States of America cannot just back out, they must prove a point first to show that there was a point. Wars are basically larger versions of 10 year old's in the playground. There's no other solution to something petty than to duke it out to assert your dominance. In the world these days dominance and past agressions is the only thing that will save you from everyone else.

  1. Seriously? Are you suggesting a war should be continued, even if it is a mistake, as a matter of PRIDE?
