Why do right wing nations think the only solution to problems are war?

My question is about almost every single war...

Answer 1

OK, I accept the challenge to prove you wrong.

Nixon's solution to the growing threat of an expanding China was to open them up to the West. He believed that the type of ignornace that kept the Chinese masses beholden to their Communist rulers could not survive once they saw how the rest of the world lived.

Reagan's solution to defeating the USSR was to bankrupt them. Talk about a peaceful solution. As Margaret Thatcher said, "Reagan won the Cold War without firing a shot".

Former President George H. Bush (Bush Sr.) did not engage our country in any wars.

George W. Bush's solution to the very dire threat posed by Islama-Fascism is to take the fight to them. We are also using a combination of good will gestures to win the hearts and minds of the populace, as well as Psy Ops tactics (such as distributing cartoons showing Al Zarqawi in a cage). This goes a long way in de-mystifying the allure of these terrorists, who seem like supermen to the ignorant populations.

What other solution was there but war? Would the Taliban have willingly left Afghanistan? No.

Would millions of Afghani women now be free of their stifiling burkas if not for our intervention? No.

Would millions of Afghani girls be attending school? No.

Did Saddam's Iraq obey the SEVENTEEN stern resolutions passed by the United Nations? No. Could we have continued monitoring him forever? No. At some point, you have to take action.

Europe waited too long before waking up to Hitler's threat. Bush did not make that mistake. He took on the Islama-fascists before they were too strong to defeat.

Remember, being pro-peace is not always the same as being anti-war. Sometimes a conflict must be settled through military means. It is regrettable that the war against terroirst fits that description. With terrorism, there is no one with whom you can make a truce, sue for peace, or from whom you can demand surrender.

Bush's Iraq war may have turned out badly because of his compassion. Yeah, you read that correctly: his compassion. A lot of people forget that the Bush administration believed that there would be a huge humanitarian need for food and medical supplies after the war. They spent countless hours preparing for that contingency. They wanted to ensure that no one went hungry, or suffered from lack of medical care.

I think I've proved my case. Republicans are really the opposite of their image.

Answer 2

War is not always correct and I don't think it is the first choice of anyone, but surely you would agree that there are times that it's necessary. We backed out of Viet Nam and saved many American lives but what about the millions of Vietnamese citizens that were tortured and killed as a result? How do you live with that? Now you obviously feel we should back out of Iraq. Remember that is the only proposed solution from the Left. They don't agree on the timetable but that's the proposed solution. No one wants to lose another soldier but no one wants to lose another life on the highway either. Do you propose that we abandon our automobiles? Of course not. It's still lives. Where do you draw the line?
I don't believe I have proven you wrong, but maybe I have given you a new perspective.
AND I took up your challenge.

Answer 3

Well first you would have to formulate a real question. civilized solution to what? are you talking aout Iraq? are you talking about terrorism? be clear. try your question again or append it and I would answer you.

Ok so your question is relating to all wars? who was at the helm for other wars?
WW1 Democrat Woodrow Wilson with a Democtratic majority congress Wilson entered the war saying we needed to make the world "safe for democracy"

WW2 - FDR Democrat - He champtioned rearmament and the USA to become the chief arms supplier and financier of the war to all allies. Making the USA the 'Arsenal of Democracy'

Korean War - Dem Harry Truman - he in fact set up a system of loyalty checks to get communist sympathisers out of government.

Vietnam - LBJ of course.

What is your allegation that Republicans are solving everything with wars???

Maybe its that Dem leadership of today is nothing like the Dem leadership then

Answer 4

we recognize that war is certaintly not a "civilized" solution, but sometimes is neccesary. We were glad that Mrs. Clinton and JF Kerry voted with us on the Iraq war as well. That vote was 95 to 0 in favor...as I remember.

Answer 5

The right wing has been overwhelmed with neoconservatives. Neo-cons inherently believe that their view of the world should be everyone's view. Whomever disagrees with their perception of society, is the enemy. The Neo-con view of the enemy is that they deserve to be destroyed because they do not see the world as "I" do.

The Nee-con has no remorse for the death of a fellow human being who disagrees with their version of what society should be. The Neo-con's true happiness is rooted in money and power. For they feel that with these to commodities, they can control or destroy anyone who opposes their views. To them, dialog is a sign of weakness and a waste of time. They count everything in dollars, positions, and body counts. They believe if you kill enough people who oppose them, that no one would dare to stand in their way. They are wrong...

Answer 6

War is the civilized solution to what? Your question is incomplete.

Answer 7

If the solution is to win over enemies who want to kill us then it is the right one, the other choice is to surrender.

Answer 8

You're right, we should sit the terrorists and insurgents down and play ONE game of chess. The winner takes all.

Answer 9

that statement is true for the democratic party as well. re., truman, democrat, ordered 2 atomic bombs be dropped on japan. the only person on this earth that has committed such a ruthless act of genocide.

Answer 10

Lets look at the flip side. Oh that's right, your side hasn't come up with any!
