Assignment 9 Griffin Coates

I believe that war does have a place in humanity and morality, but only as an extreme or a last resort. There are always other solutions than war, such as diplomacy. To work out a solution on paper and come to a compromise far outweighs the decision to go to war. War is messy, expensive and in most cases makes the matter even worse for both sides. By sending diplomats to foreign countries to solve matters peacefully, countries are saving millions of dollars and thousands of lives. It risks the live's of the soldiers on the front line, it messes with the economy of the home nations and not to mention it risks the lives of the civilians with the possibility of home ground attacks. War is never a good option. However, as seen in the past diplomacy isn't always a solution. Some countries don't want to work out their problems and they see war as the only answer. Once every other peaceful alternative is exhausted, then war is the only answer. If a nation is being oppressed and it's citizens murdered, war should be an answer for that nation. In order to protect our nation's citizens and infrastructure, war is necessary. However unwanted, it is still necessary.
