Shouldn't we be teaching that war is terrible?

mutually as I actually agree that warfare is poor, i'm no longer so particular the word "warfare on Terror" might qualify as an oxymoron. To be an oxymoron, i think of there might desire to be an ironic twist led to via the juxtaposition of contradictory words. The words "warfare" and "terror" bypass mutually like like "discomfort" and "suffering." They recommend especially much the comparable ingredient and are profoundly unfunny. no longer an oxymoron, i think of.

One flaw.
War IS ALWAYS terrible BUT war is sometimes necessary and very just.
To engage in war against "terror" would be very just, perhaps not as necessary at times but definitely necessary overall.

Why don't you try hugging the terrorists. I'm sure that if you spread your touchy feely rhetoric to them they will understand. Sure war is terrible. But so is being beheaded for not believing in the same religion they do. Grow up. War is a necessary evil to preserve our way of life. And if they don't see it that way we'll just blow them up. End of story.

The war on terror is nothing but an assault on another people and their religious beliefs--notably, Islam.

War is at times a justifiable necessary evil! Would you rather we just roll over and let our enemies defeat us without a fight? Some enemies will never accept any kind of negotiations!

No, it's just a nonsense term suitable for pep rallies and such. An oxymoron is something else entirely.

The American Indians used to teach that.
How did it work out for them?
Democrats have already surrendered to the Terrorists. (We'll see how that works out.)

you are probably not going to teach your children about what happened on 9/11 are you?

"I just want you to know that when we talk about war what were really talking about is peace." -George Bush
Like it is straight from George Orwell himself. And people buy this garbage.
