Can I get some help finding a war/peace dialogue?

Question

It's for my drama class; I need to find a dialogue that the members of our group can say about war. It's alright if we get the dialogue straight from the internet or a book or whatever. An example of a dialogue topic: a boy is going to help out with the war in Iraq but his mother's against it (we get to see both viewpoints). It would be great if the skit/dialogue had three or more characters involved, thanks

Purple: Isn't the whole purpose of this exercise to get you to not only act but act the part of a script writer? I have no major suggestions on how to get a quick script of this nature. Sometimes you can find screen or play adaptations to literary masterpieces like War and Peace or maybe even Red Badge of Courage. Why don't you try reading the small book, Red Badge of Courage, and then attempt to reconstruct a dialogue where you imagine a dialogue between the mother and son as he parts for war or even more creatively imagine him on the battle scene but thinking out what he would say to his mother while he gets lost in the savagery of war. I don't know. Put some creativity in it. Don't just do things the easy way. Life is much more rewarding to go the difficult route and gain knowledge of oneself and refined talents from the adventure.
