it's been said that "warfare is an extension of diplomacy".\n\npeople fight because it is in their nature.  we are socialized animals and when that socialization breaks down the result is physical combat.\n\nWarfare is the combined effort of a group or nation to overwhelm another for the furthering of their own goals and aims.

It is easier to send a man into battle if he feels God is on his side and will resurrect him.  The terriorists believe 70 virgins awaited them in heaven.\nTell, a man this life is all there is!  Would he be willing to sacrifice his moment in the sun for something you told him you felt strongly about.  Tell him god will reward him and off he goes.  So yes, Governments use religion to get people to fight in wars.  Always has, always will.  Why because it works.

there has to be war sometime. but i do not like it at all. i think that we can settle things with communication and agreement. i think that the war in iraq is because the president is not thinking about how to solve it without war. he says he is a christian but we do not believe in violence. \n                          -peace child

no war is good for anyone.  I really think that if one coutry has a problem with another....the two leaders should duke it out and who ever is still standing wins!!  It would only cost for the flight there and back.

Sad but true, all wars since world war 2 have been conflicts. from korea to iraq. every generation has seen war. or as the gov calls it conflict. tell a soldger that korea, vietnam, panama, iraq 1, iraq 2 is not a war. i wouldnt but the gov would. they would tell them it was a conflict. messed up i think.

War starts because of power. Someone has it and someone else wants it. Also religion is a major cause of war. I think that if there was no religion we would all be much better off.

If your government did not want to react to this with violence, I'm sure they had a good reason.  Or maybe they are just not ready to react.  Have you asked the head of your village or town?

why is it up to the government?? people in our nation want everything done for them and they don't want to pick up and do it. it's up to each individual person to make sure that out planet is taken care of. and honestly why does it matter about the governements plans an laws??they are broken EVERY DAY! speeding, burglary, murder, drugs.. it happens everyday why do people think if the government is involved that it will all the sudden get better??

Its an Oil war. They want to control the Oil there and are doing all they can to make trouble in that country so that it does not become strong.

The thing is that they aren't in any danger if they declare war. Older men declare war but's the youth who must fight and die. It would be great if the politicians kids could be put into wars so that wars would be less likely. They don't care the deaths won't personally effect.\n\nAnother thing is that for Joseph Stalin in World War 2, it was a whole lot easier to put a gun into the peoples hand instead of feeding them. Send them off to war and the problem is gone.

Huh?  There have been numerous international agreements that limit how wars can be waged.  The simple matter of that is war is bloody, but extremely necessary.  Get over it.  \n\nI'd suggest you read up on the "Law of Armed Conflict"  or "LOAC."

Politics and Religion should always be kept apart for several reasons.\nGovernment for the most part is elected by the people,\nA religion can and has been invented or created by one person.\n\nLaws made by Government are decided by discussion and \na majority vote,\nLaws made by religion merely depend on the interpretation of a certain passage or story within the writings that are used as a basis for nearly all faiths\n\nHistory itself shows that  governments under religious influence\nare more likely to make war on countries that have a different\nreligion or a offshoot of their own religion that does that will not comply with the state religion.\n\nAn individuals belief is just that, INDIVIDUAL and should not, and must not be forced on any one person or group of people.\nNor should any country dictate to it's own people or the people of another country on how,where or to whom they pray.

Not sure the exact process, but congress has to declare war.  However, there are loopholes, as congress has not done so since WWII.  That means every war, including vietnam, korea,  Iraq, etc.. were not 'officially' wars, but considered 'conflicts'.

Because the government dont want there own people in trouble.
