Does war provide the answer to any problem we face or is it the breakdown of communication all together.?

Answer 1

It is breakdown of common sense and disrespect for others life including their own soldiers.

Iraq war is not breakdown of communications. Someone in whitehouse wanted war just like that.

They use an excuse war is for peace. Yes once you get rid of the war mongers then there will be peace. But unfortunately war mongers dont fight they hide behind their own troops and under bunkers. ( example VP)
Both parties fight against eveil and both fight against terrorists and the excuses are goin on

Answer 2

It has been said by the others that yes war is necessary from time to time. The USA does talk to Iran and North Korea. The leaders can't talk to each other but there Representatives do talk. Most of what is said between Iran and the other nations has been in the news a lot so you should understand that nothing has been accomplished by talking. What is the next step. I am not saying one or the other is wrong I just am saying they have not agreed so there will be the next step. Family feuds are exactly the same thing but on a much smaller scale. If so many families can't get along then how can nations.

Answer 3

Yes, in the face of an armed and belligerent tyrant, or in the face of mindless jihadists, war is a necessary part of the diplomatic repetoir. It is not the only part, but it is an integral part. War, or the threat of war, is a means of changing the behavior or the direction of other countries who do not respond to various diplomatic pressures.

Because in the face of a bellicose tyrant, strength or a show of force is the only thing they respond to.

A 'Peace at any price' mindset has led to more bloodshed than any 'to achieve peace, prepare for war' mindset.

A look at Europe in the 1930's and 1940's is just the best recent example of what happens when cowardice and weakness are the prevailing diplomatic characteristics in the face of belligerence.

For those that seek wars and death, like the tyrants, like the jihadists, the only 'communication' they respond to is the bullet and the bomb. To think otherwise is to fail to think.

Answer 4

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven...

... A time to love, and a time to hat; a time of war and a time of peace."
- Ecclesiastes 3:1, 8

When is the time for war? Now that's the right question.

In response to an answer above, you CAN'T talk to those terrorist states. According to certain extremist muslims, it's okay to lie to non-believers. They say one thing, and they do another.

Answer 5

TO have PEACE....sometimes u need war.
It is a war against evil . The real war is GOOD v/z EVIL.
The people of these countries cry out for help from USA.
So we are the Calvary and go to save the world.

Answer 6

Yes it solves problems. It is the most dire of solutions but is necessary sometimes, i.e. brutal dicators thumbing their nose at 10 years of international sanctions while butchering his own people and threatening his neighbors and the world.
Also, it seemed to work out well when the US won it's independence from the British, when Europe was freed from Hitler, when Kuwait was liberated from attack, etc. and so on.

Answer 7

It is both. A failure of communication, and a terrible thing. But sometimes a necessary thing. Just as sometimes it's necessary to amputate a limb to save someone's life, or to undergo painful chemotherapy to cure cancer, or suffer 3rd degree burns in order to escape a burning building.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things.

Answer 8

A wise man once said that "War is the injection of reality into the political process."

Answer 9

It provided a great answer in WW2. It showed that evil needs to be stopped no matter what the cost.

Answer 10
