War is justified in some situations. A pretty clear way to draw the line for me is....

...that the War in Afghanistan is justified but the War in Iraq is not.

Lets' face it, war is ugly and horrible but we're kidding ourselves if we think that humans can stop war.

For example....

The hippies are dumb enough to think that they ended the Vietnam War. The war ended because America's military couldn't take the stress of neverending deployments (mainly by draftees). By 1975, the straw broke the camel's back. There are many, many other reasons why America was forced to pull out but the anti-war crowd had very little to do with it.

What adds to the viciousness of war is that it's rarely ever black-and-white. So much good AND bad can come out of it. (Ex. The Allied Forces stopped Hitler and the Japanese from killing millions of more innocent people but hundreds of thousands of Allied soldiers died in the process.)


Whether you lean anti-war or pro-war, never convince yourself that you have all the answers.
