Question

Do you agree or diagree with this statement? Explain.

(the only reason that the part right above this is in the details is because i ran out of room in the question)

Answer 1

Yes!

Answer 2

Yes I agree that it is wrong to target unarmed men, women and children...
But I also believe that the animals and plants shouldn't be harmed and sacred/holy sites/buildings.

Many people take advantage of these things during war, I don't think that is right...

I think if 2 countries are pissed off at each other, the rulers of that country should fight to the death... lol...
Although I can't imagine George Dubya fighting Ancient Roman Colosseum style with Saddam Hussein...

I think it would be much easier than killing an entire country to get to their oil.. Don't you think?

my 2 cents...

Peace and Love!

Answer 3

Yes, it's wrong to target civilians intentionally... however, let's be realistic, you cannot have a war without unintentional civilian casualties. Especially when war is being waged in civilian zones (as it is to a large degree in Iraq), killing innocents is unavoidable. Tragic, yes, but a fact of war.

But the fact that civilians will inevitably be killed is not a valid reason for not undertaking military action, if the military action in question is just and right.

Answer 4

Is it wrong to blow up a factory making roadside bombs ?
Is it wrong to blow up a factory making AK47s?

You can achieve the same resulty blowing up the factory that makes the men that shoots guns as you do blowing up the factory that makes the guns. There is a plus to blowing up men women and children. When the dance is over, you don't have to feed them.

Answer 5

Yes I do think it is wrong....... absolutely
