Everything around us we see is destruction and pain.The sufferings of humanity have given birth to dipression , leading to war and terrorism.War is no body's favour but it will only bring the end of the days nearer but peace might add to the life of the universe.We must be peace lovers instead of terrorists and suicide bombers.
I'm not sure, but what I do know is that man needs war about as much as he needs oxygen. I believe in human rights, and I wish there was a way to world peace, but I know enough about human nature to understand that it's practically impossible.
We are a fairly violent race it does not have to happen of course but just keep in mind Humans,again, are very violent many anthropologists,socioligist,historians,ect. would agree
This is a good question... I believe that war is never the right option, but it is inevitable; not for every problem that people have, but for some cases.
I agree that the impulse to war is part of human nature, but I don't see why we have to give into it. There are other aspects of our primal nature that we control and ignore, so why not this one as well. There is always another way to solve the problem.
Most of the time it’s over petty shit and 90% it’s the governments waging war while citizens on both sides speak out against it. Rich men wage wars and make poor people fight them.
Absolutely not. I despise war with all of my heart. I am a pacifist, through and through.
And, my thoughts are that while it is idealistic to think that war will eventually become a memory of the past, it will probably never be so. Where money or religion is involved, war will somehow follow.
"Rich men wage wars and make poor people fight them" absolutely this.
I don't have time to elaborate much (and this really will be my last fanpop comment for a week lol) but search up the US military-industrial complex, it makes for some scary reading.
Basically the US goverment has to start its own wars, or encourage wars elsewhere, to keep its economy afloat. 10% of the $2.2 trillion in factory output in the US goes into weapon production. President Eisenhower coined the term "military-industrial complex" back in 1971, warning about the unprecedented "conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry" and how this would influence government policy. It's link. Since the end of the Cold War, the US has exported almost six times more weapons than the next-leading country (the UK). The five largest arms manufacturers in the world are American. In the top 100 largest arms manufacturers, 47 are American.
Basically, arms manufacturers in the US have massive influence on lawmakers in terms of the size/nature of military spending and decisions about war and peace. Beyond arms manufacturing, the US government has "privitised" some aspects of the military by contracting with private security firms and logistics firms (eg. Blackwater, Halliburton). Large American corporations like Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics have become "Walmarts of war". There is now an extremely complex network between American lawmakers, lobbyists, and contractors.
The only way in which war is "essential" is that large parts of the American economy depend on it occuring. It renders other factors - including public opposition, thousands of dead soldiers and magnitudes more civilians - immaterial.
If the US doesn't change, it's hard to see how our world won't be in perpetual war.

Sorry if that didn't make sense...
