Would you ever support going to war?

Question

In your mind, when would it be legal to go to war against another country/nation?

Answer 1

Self-defense is an acceptible reason for war.

If they are attacking you, or are about to attack you, you can fight back to save your life.

Answer 2

War is a necessary evil when we were hit by those planes it became necessary to react. Any nation which poses an immedate threat then yes hit with a blow that will rock the very fondation on witch there country was built also if another country is being held in a geneocide our political war that is unjust and one sided to abuse the other party then it also becomes a necessary evil unless there is no standing threat to our country or to the not stoping the basic human rights of any one

Answer 3

If someone wants to threaten my country, my state, my family, then yes. Do i support this war? No. Other than the fact that it is keeping the terrorist there and not in my country, no i don't support it at all. When someone tries to take over the world, that effects me. Because I am part of the world. Overall, yes i do support it if it makes sense.

Answer 4

The obvious answer is if our country were attacked. However, we must also feel an obligation to help other nations that have helped us in the past. They were there when we needed them so we should be there for them. The exception: France in Vietnam. They asked us for help & we refused because it was an unjust war. France wanted to stay in Vietnam as a colony & Vietnam wanted it's freedom from France. In hindsight, perhaps we should have helped France since we ended up in Vietnam anyway & stayed for 13 years!

Answer 5

All wars are started by the world bankers. They make huge loans to governments during wars, and then charge interest on those loans. The world bankers just happen to be the founders of Israel.

That is why Israel lobbied so hard for the USA to invade the Middle East. They are trying to start WWIII where they will not only make huge profits, but the Republic of America will go bankrupt and will remain largely unprotected from attack by China or Russia with its military stretched out in the Middle East.

Answer 6

No because war is made only by few.You know who!Let them go and face this cruelty and possibly death.It's ridiculous that we are supposed to live in freedom.Tell me one time in the history of mankind that there is no war.Only nowadays war became more personal and fast.I will never support a war in any case because the ones that will lead me to war,will be sitting in their luxury preparing their speach for the families of the ones that return dead!

Answer 7

I would support going to war if it would be in the best interest of the nation (IE. it's people)...except to go out and conquer...which basically leaves dealing with threats to the nation or it's allies.

...Or something along those lines...

Answer 8

Would I ever support going to war? Uhm yeah I've been down range twice now looking on my third time this summer.

Answer 9

When my children's freedoms are in danger. And, when we can provide others in the world a chance to enjoy the same freedom.

There is something serene about giving a starving child your food when you are hungry yourself. Anytime we can feed the children of the world freedom, why would we not. If the world was really full of choice, wouldn't it be safer?

Answer 10

It's never illegal to declare war. Yes, I would support a war against anyone who threatened my country. These days, I'd require more credible evidence than we got for the last one, but then nobody really asks for my approval in these things.

Answer 11

When one of them bombs a naval base and kills over 1200 citizens unprovoked or when they are a rogue government harboring an international fugitive that is responsible for killing over 3,000 people worldwide and the government is unwilling to cooperate and instead chooses to support and protect him.

Definitely not on suspect intelligence.
