Decent people sometimes go to war because their nation is threatened in some way; but no decent person ever enjoys war or supports war just for war's sake. Most people would like to find other avenues for resolving problems. War should always be held as the last resort for solving problems. Sometimes, such as when a nation is attacked, the last resort, war, is the only resort. Otherwise, other steps should be taken before a nation commits a generation of men to risk, and some to lose, their lives fighting and killing the young men of some other country.

It always depends on the war . The same argument could be presented by Nazi as well. There are wars which need to fought and there are wars which need to be opposed . Countries and states have tendencies to act in there own interest with out caring for the greater moral , religious and ethical principle s. Freedom under tyranny does not lead to freedom , it will be just time when even that basic freedom will also be taken away .

I like being free. I am also against THE war. Attacking a sovereign nation that poses no threat to us has nothing to do with "protecting our freedom". Attacking Al Queda in Afghanistan does, because they were/are a direct and imminent threat to us.
I am not against war as a means of defense, but to use it as offense is just, well... offensive.

Because war has very little to do with freedom outside of a narrow theoretical world. Go ahead, live through a couple of civil wars and see what they do to your freedom. Must be nice to be an American and wear those rose-colored glasses all the time.

Because this particular war has nothing to do with freedom, it has to do with oil, lies, and the manipulation of thje American people by falsely presenting "facts" in which the war was predicated on. We are not against wars with real purpose (see: American Revolution, U.S. Civil War, WWI, WWII), but we are generally against wars that politicians use for smoke screens against their true ambitions( see Vietnam and whatever you want to call the debacle that our current administration has gotten us into).

I'm an American female. Which war freed me? None. It was activists that 'fought' to get the right for females to vote.
There's many countries with more freedoms than the U.S. who haven't fought war after war to do so. True freedom doesn't involve wars that could kill off your loved ones but being SMART instead.

Many people are against the war for many reasons. I am against it because we are killing a lot of military people and the government is paying their families for their deaths. That is not going to make the families feel better that their loved ones are gone. We don't need to keep on sending troops over there. We need to bring them all home because they have their own government now and we are just interrupting with their government. God bless the USA. May we bring the rest of our troops home soon and stop killing them. May God bless the troops too. If your loved one was over there and got killed; would you feel better if the government paid you for your lost?

Because War is HELL. War is when you send husbands/brothers /sister/mothers/wifes off to risk their life over a conflict between 2 countries who the leaders are just going to sit behind their desk and eat cake and get belly rubs while us (the worker ants) kill ourselfs...
You know I'd be all FOR war if like say we took Bush..and Sadam..and Bin laden..and you put them in a boxing ring..and just let it go...*L*... Yeah that's how it should be done

do you think war leads to freedom? wars inflict with the freedom of people involved in war. especially the ones that are being attacked. It also depends on how you define freedom. what freedom means to you does not nessecaraly mean the same to someone else.

They don't understand that the price of freedom is responsibility, and that responsibility details war. There is no peace without war, and that is what people fail to see.
