Why wars should not be banned ?

Answer 1

Respect for and development of human life require peace. Peace is not merely the absence of war, and it is not limited to maintaining a balance of powers between adversaries. Peace cannot be attained on earth without safeguarding the goods of persons, free communication among men, respect for the dignity of persons and peoples, and the assiduous practice of fraternity. Peace is "the tranquillity of order." Peace is the work of justice and the effect of charity.

The strict conditions for legitimate defense by military force require rigorous consideration. The gravity of such a decision makes it subject to rigorous conditions of moral legitimacy. At one and the same time:
- the damage inflicted by the aggressor on the nation or community of nations must be lasting, grave, and certain;
- all other means of putting an end to it must have been shown to be impractical or ineffective;
- there must be serious prospects of success;
- the use of arms must not produce evils and disorders graver than the evil to be eliminated. The power of modem means of destruction weighs very heavily in evaluating this condition.

These are the traditional elements enumerated in what is called the "just war" doctrine. The evaluation of these conditions for moral legitimacy belongs to the prudential judgment of those who have responsibility for the common good.

Answer 2

Wars should and could be banned. The only people who want wars, are politcians and psycopaths.

The solution is simple. Every time there are irreconcilable differences between nations or factions, the dispute is resolved by the lead politicians in a duel between them personally.

Waging war, could be made an international capital crime, punishable by summary execution, by any citizen, anywhere in the world.

Answer 3

War is more horrid than you could imagine! But how do you ban it? Nobody as succeeded yet and the only thing nations can do is try to stay strong and staying strong is seen as provocation by your neighbours and so it goes on.

Answer 4

That`s how small wars become big wars, by some bigger power thinking they can ban smaller powers from warring.

What a joke!

Answer 5

Well who would ban them and how would you enforce the ban without going to war

Answer 6

I think if people want a war they should be allowed to fight, as long as the people involved go and do it in some uninhabited place so innocent people don't get hurt.

Answer 7

Wars should be banned because they, aside the fact that they cause people to die in their great numbers, generate huge amount of bad information for the masses that they have to ingest and digest even when not directly involved in the conflict. But wars should not be banned as they act as great source of pressure release as when it gets built up among uncanny and under perceptive people of the nations and groups.

The fact is that, as it is proven in human history, we need wars to realise many things about ourselves. Wars not only give people opportunities to exercise their physical mussels but they also work wonders to wake people up into higher pursuits in life, into causes that transcend well beyond the mundane and mediocrity of life. When two nations go to war people on sides count their deeds, but those who die enhance the live so countless who live after them. Wars are wonderful way to exhibit limits of genuine human courage, valour and sacrifice, heroes are produced by wars, who people then remember for ages, and whose lives are idealised for the good of the general public for ages to come.

Besides, the if we do not spar with each other then it could be possible that our minds would be sucked by the great wilderness of time and space that rounds our short and limited lives. We might not stand the tyranny and bleakness of existence all around us. The fact that we all are gong to pass away one day might terrify us beyond all measure of our tolerance in a normal peaceful life. Wars, when fought for good causes, glorify life and conquer death.

Answer 8

You could always ask the warring factions to go and stand in separate corners. Either that or issue asbos.

Answer 9

Answer: 'To avoid mass killings,' 'Tribal / Religious genocide.' 'Clan atrocities.' 'Family feuds.'

But, just try 'banning it.' You are welcome to have a go ~ which was the reason for establishing The League of Nations which was the forerunner of The United Nations.

Good luck.
