Assignment 9- Jonathan Tungate

There is a time for war. Sometimes there can be no other option than to fight to defend yourself, others, and what is right. Country's should fight for themselves, while it may not always be the best option, many times it is the only good option available to defend themselves. I believe war is very much a lesser of two evils, because we use war to fight for what is right. If you're being bullied, and you tell him to stop but he declines. Will you just let the bully keep harassing you? No, you have to stick up for yourself, much like you should on a global scale. A country does not have a responsibility to go to war. For example, if you're going to help someone after a car accident, rule number one is to make sure you yourself are safe, and there is nothing dangerous around. A responsibility to help another country in need should work the same way. Think of what you're doing to yourself first, it's not worth attempting to save another group in need, when it will just hurt yourself. Alternatives are treaties, and compromising. A good option to maintain somewhat good relations with another nation, and not hurt your countries. However, this is not always the best option.
