Assignment 9 - Jacquelyn Engel

For the most part, I don't believe there is a time for war. It's killing people primarily over different perspectives, and I don't think it's appropriate and necessary. Most of the time the US goes to war is to fight for immoral issues such aw terrorism, right to liberty, etc which is imperative to protect, but the needyo go to war is unnecessary. Talking, discussing, and compromising issues can go a long way, but a lot of people don't resort to this solution. Discussing issues can save a lot of time, money, and lives, but I guess people don't have the patience or want to take the time to discuss their problems. In the case of 9/11 though. I believe that was an appropriate time for war. It may be wrong to kill, but I think it's also wrong to be a bystander to an immoral issue. I believe it was important to go to war in order to convey that we are stronger so another event like that wouldn't happen again. There are many factors that go into war, and I think most people are unaware of that. Going to war may be the quickest way, to some people, to solve something, but it only has a short term effect. What is proving strength going to do?
