Assignment 9 - Lizzy Wolfe

In my opinion, there is never an appropriate time for war. When countries are in conflict, it is the governments that are at odds, not the citizens. I do not think that it is appropriate for a country to send thousands of its citizens across borders with the intent of killing others, especially knowing that their own people could very well die as well. Deliberately putting citizens in danger is, in my opinion, extremely immature. I think that it is ridiculous for war to be the go-to resolution for conflict. In the case of 9/11, President George W. Bush was quick to send troops across sea, but those countries had nothing to do with the incident. Innocent people have died because of this misjudgment. War achieves nothing but diminish the population. I think governments should first and foremost attempt to get along peacefully. Resolutions might involve treaties or agreeing to disagree. People need to want peace. Changing culture to invite more peaceful resolutions would create a sounder society and a better world to live in.
