War is when a country or a group of people within a country fight against one another with weapons. There are numerous reasons for war. Wars have been fought for independence, to expand land, because of disputes, to protect a country's independence and/or land, to gain resources, because of alliances, etc.

World peace is such a beautiful idea, isn't it? I would really love for everyone to be able to get along. However, realistically speaking, that just isn't how things are. Wars have existed since the beginning of times, and I'm sure will continue throughout the end of times. The reason being is because there are more greedy, selfish, hateful SOBs out in the world than there are loving people. Everyone always wants to be right, and many will to go whatever lengths to try to prove it. \nIt's a sad and cruel world.

"When people speak to you about a preventive war, you tell them to go and fight it. After my experience, I have come to hate war. War settles nothing."

War costs money!\n\nOne complete sentence.

Sic vis pacem parabellum\n"If you desire peace, prepare for war."\n\nI support the war as a means of securing future peace. Peace is won through war, and can only be truly appreciated after it has been fought, bled, and died for. Being a pacifist will make you a victim. We can't just be the "nice guy" to the world and expect to be respected or taken seriously. Would you respect someone who just kisses everyone's a*s, even after he has been repeatedly kicked in the balls? I want peace (believe it or not), but not at the expense of our national sovereignty and dignity. Simply bowing to the demands of dictators and terrorists to avoid war isn't peace, that is scarcely better than slavery. I would rather die a free man with a gun in my hands than live for a hundred years by our enemy's permission. \n\nREMEMBER 9/11\nNEVER FORGIVE! NEVER FORGET!\nPEACE THROUGH VICTORY!

war is never a good option to ending any dispute.  defense of those you love is done out of necessity but going out of your way to kill another human being because you disagree with their ideas or do not like the way they look...i don't know.  that just sounds...i don't know...evil.

Well, peace is always good since it prevents the unecessary death of others.  War would be good if you run a major corporation and can profit off it.

War and Peace....just to test my endurance!

I am very pleased my previous post sparked such thought. The first of your two questions was " whether or not terrorists are primitive". I am not sure how to answer that except that OBL is probably living in a cave somewhere near the border of Afganastan and Pakistan and is offering a truths with the United States of America. (Someone isn't so sure they will get their 40 virgins.) Your second question "is being primitive bad?" No not if your fundimental beliefs are not centered around killing the innocent. I have no problem with primitave cultures. In fact I appreciate the fact that primative cultures have not disolved in our modern world.\nYou asked more than 2 questions. You went on to ask if it makes them any dumber and several other things I will try to address but it is getting late for me.\nOkay look, I have no problem with Muslims or any other specific ethnic or religous peoples. The original question was "Is war bad?" I answered quick to get my 2 points and move on, because I did not feel the asker had put much serious thought into it. War is bad. War is evil, vile, and discusting to anybody with half a brain, primative or not. However there are times when wars must be fought, and as long as there are people out there in the world that seek to cause the loss of life on our soil then we will fight them. We will start and finish them. We will destroy those who seek to destroy us. Peace through superior firepower is a sad way of puting it, I know. However the best defense is a strong offence. You do not have to agree with me but please believe me I say these things with conviction. I wish the world was a peacefull place. I would feel alot better about the saftey of my children. However the world is not peacefull, far from it. There are people who wish to destroy us and our way of life so bad they are willing to die for it. Well I for one am willing to die to defend it.

War is never won.  The misunderstandings between cultures, escalating to the point of violence, is comparable to a natural disaster.  They are not a source of glory or victory, just pain, suffering and ill will.  The survivors of a war are bettered because of the experience, but only if they come to the realization of how futile the endeavor was.  There is always a peaceful solution to end cultural disputes.  These kind of conflicts are brought on by the failure to communicate, or the refusal to.  When war is engaged in out of a last resort, it is tragic, because those that enter into such a struggle do not understand the circumstances they are in.  They have failed to realize what the peaceful solution is to the conflict, and must then resort to violance.  The terms win and lose have no validity in a conflict where both sides have admitted their wrongmindedness and ignorance by relying on violance.  We must have a respect for anyone who comes out of war, alive or dead, because they have made a sacrifice.  They put aside their moral doubts in order to invoke a pointless and futile struggle.  Those who go to war change nothing they set out to, but come back changed themselves.

during the unusual  pleasure of  a period of peace\n\nThe meaning is that there is normally a war going on somewhere in the background, and it is wonderful to enter into a period of peace, when we can relax and enjoy ourselves

War is murder. It has never solved anything. It should be forever abolished. \n\nLast night I had the strangest dream. A dream, I've never known. I dreamed I saw a mighty room, filled with women and men, and the paper they were signing said, they'd never fight again. And when the paper was all signed and a million copies made, they all joined hands and bowed their heads and grateful prayers were prayed. And the people in the streets below were dancing 'round and 'round while guns and swords and uniforms lay scattered on the ground.\n\nSee how simple it really is?

Friend - Liberal here, and pacifist.  Though much of war is ugly and sad, yes, good does come of wars.  There are the thousand little good things that happen every day...friendships made, some one lost is found, a child smiles...and the greater good, such as the end of the reign of Hitler...and yes, even of Saddam.  I am also a pragmatic liberal pacifist who realizes there will be wars as long as man lives on earth to wage them, just as there always has been.  Whether the good outweighs the bad, I cannot say.  Ask me when my son is safely home from Iraq for the last time...and do not be so quick to predict what a liberal will say.  Grace and Peace

Military Man - It would not be a bad idea to put a little imagination into your life.  Fling the door open on impulse.  You may find some nice surprises behind it.\n\nDeath - Always the harbinger of important change and a new existence.  Your worries will diminish; progress is assured.\n\nBattle - You are in conflict with yourself.  Accept yourself as you are.  Nobody is perfect.\n\nA military battle is a sign of revolution against the established authority.  Remember that the limits of living in society protect you more than they imprison you.

for there to be peace that equals no creativeness and no curiosity and no desire to question as long there is creativity, curiousity and the desire to question there will never be peace... not saying that i am for war or killing but we as people most of us can't even be in peace with our selves do u really think we can be in peace with one another? it is in our nature to be envyious and jeleous of one another you can deny it all you want but 95% of us are like that so as long all that is in this world in our nature there never will be peace.  There always will be arguments and conflict of interest.  Hyperthatically speaking there are no conutries, no states, and only one religion in the world every lives by the same rules and believe in same belief do you think there will be peace?  Realistically speaking the answer is no because there always will be conflict in order for there to be no conflict we will have to want and desire everything the same no variety ... me my self i don't even want that... life would be so boring... drama spices up life but killing of innocent is never fair and never just.
