War is a last course of action to achieve a common goal after exhausting all other methods of negotiation, compromise, and/or conciliation. \n\nThere are those who think war is never an option because no one every truly wins, but I gave you a reason for it. :)

Religion is only used as a smoke screen to justify war.  The REAL reason for wars is money and power.

Overall this war was casued due to the economic policies of the British Empire.  \n\nThere are also political causes such as the feelings of a lack of political representation within the English Empire, which then resulted in the above said economic policies.  This argument would be disputed by historical materialists.

all the world doesnt want peace and that is why there is war....besides....war is good for the U.S. economy. So when the economy drops the chances of war breaking out for reasons like....Weapons Of Mass Destruction  aka a blatant LIE become ever more real.

Around 2000 years ago, the Romans had already answered that and all related questions: Pecunia nervus belli -- money is the main cause of war. Past, present and future ones.

War is simply organized aggression. Aggression is the result of people making choices. People are sinners by virtue of the gift of free-will. As long as there are people, there will be war-aggression-sin.

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?

I think the reason for this hypothetical war should be a determining factor in who we support. Or maybe for once we should just mind our own business.

I think everyone agrees that war is not solution to anything however our brain is so susceptible to external factors that we get carried way with momentary impulse and get to agree with wars. Otherwise history is witness it has never solved the problem. Though I remember one war which brought peace was Kalinga war (fought by one of the Indian King Ashoka who after war realized that all this destruction was useless and he left all violence after that and turn to Buddhism).

Nobody is willing to face a war.  We have so many treaties and organisations to nib it in budding stage itself.  Every nation wants to champion the cause of peace and many nations oppose the move to breach of peace.  The reason is  the big nations and developed nations will suffer great loss of life, man power, money, material, projects, food supply ,transport, communications etc. There will be no world or war thereafter.

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.

no war can ever really be justified ,unless youre invaded and have to defend yourself.\nbut this does not deter politicians who can justify everything including ,genocide

Because it is. Conflict is in others words a problem, a dispute where there is disagreement or misfortune. Give me an example where conflict is positive. Sure, it may lead to a positive outcome, but while conflict is present, the motives are never on the plus side.

War should be considered as the ultimate failure of a civilised society.\n\nWhen violence is the only answer, we are obviously don't have the intelligence to find the right questions.

Yes,,, Any person do anything without reasonable cause and lead to a war is a bad person\nwhat the reasonable cause Hitler was have to make a war??

the only way you can prove it convincingly is by giving a lot of examples from the history.\n\ntalk about the fact that even the most advanced civilizations were destroyed as a result of conflict.\n\nconflict has never proved beneficial for human society.  it has only resulted in misery and suffering.

Basicly, humans. We want everything, we want to have it our way, don't like to comprimise, and become socalised in to ideologies that serve to reinforce values and beliefs, that become outdated quickly in an increasingly globalised world. We want things easy, and don't like to take the diffifcult but necessary steps to ensure long term peace or survival. If your talking about concepts, then Id say religion, land and money are the main causes of international tensions.
