War is wrong? true or false have your say and defense your answer?

Question

best from your knowledge......based on your experience.....through media.....why why....isn't there another way to avoid this bloody slaughter.....to solve the problem without hurting inocent people.

Answer 1

War isn't illegal. It is totally legal, that being said...if a country is attacked for no reason then that would be wrong. Obviously you are looking at war from the psychological standpoint. The reasons for war and the psychology of war are two entirely different things. The two are at opposite ends of the pole.

Answer 2

War is Right. Otherwise I would be writing this in German.
People who say war is completely wrong, are idealist who are living in a dream world! The fact is, war is needed in certain situations. Sometimes it can be effective, other times it can't.

So, people do die, and that's just (ironically) life. It happens.

Another point. Men, are power hungry. Men are born to fight, to argue and ultimately to kill. Remember, in each of us burns the fury of a warrior. We are also greedy, we want land, we want money, we all want it all... this of course leads to the 'W' word.

War will never end. As long as segregation exists, so too will War.

To conclude, you can not say war is right/wrong. If Aliens started shooting at us, should we let them take over. NAH, I think WAR would have to take place.

Answer 3

I agree war is wrong, it cannot improve a situation by killing and injuring others.How can that make things any better than if a serious discussion was held and so the two sides can reach a decision that is fair and suits everyone? It's bloody ridiculous!

Answer 4

war is wrong. If goverments want to finght over things send the primeminster to argue with the other primeminister instead of sending innocent peoples sons daughters husbands and wives! I'm sure when it was there own lives at risk they'ed sort stuff out quicker!

Answer 5

Disasters make news. Television and newspapers show us the pictures: the destruction, the injured survivors, the dead. What we don't see, unless we're the victims of an earthquake or flood or volcano ourselves, is what life is like afterwards. We rarely get glimpses of survivors struggling to cope with grief and illness or disability, in makeshift conditions and facing years - maybe even a lifetime - of deprivation and loss.

There is another kind of disaster: war. Pictures from war zones show the same tragic scenes, the same dreadful aftermath. But war is worse. When war is going on, help for its victims may be slow in coming, or never arrive at all. The victims can themselves become pawns of war: deliberately driven from their homes, abused or tortured, their towns and villages bombed or burned. Large areas of land become uninhabitable, poisoned by dangerous chemicals and littered with unexploded weapons that go on killing for years to come. Some people - often children - are forced by governments or self-appointed leaders to join in the fighting and commit brutal acts and killings themselves. In war zones law and order disappear, and no-one is safe.

Unlike earthquakes, floods and volcanic eruptions, war is a disaster created entirely by people, against people. It is never an accident: making war is always somebody's decision. Nations spend vast amounts of money on training soldiers to fight and kill. They spend even more on devising and manufacturing weapons and machinery for fighting and killing. That is not the only expense. Huge sums are also needed for dealing with the damage when a war is officially over. ('Officially', because the effects of war continue long after the truce has been signed.)

From this evidence alone, it ought to be clear to everyone that there's little to be said for war. But little has been done to liberate the world from it. War still fascinates and excites some people, though it fills many others with revulsion and horror. Too many people - and too many of their leaders - still think that war is defensible, and that it's not actually wrong for people to learn how to kill each other in large numbers. [more]

For all these reasons, and more, the invention of war is one of humankind's greatest blunders. It needs to be put right.

The bottom line of pacifism is simply this: human beings invented war, and human beings should make it obsolete. [see War is only an invention] War, like a disease, can in time be eradicated; and that's what we should be working to achieve.

It means learning to overcome the conditioned belief that armed force is an acceptable way of dealing with disputes. It's a human weakness, not a strength, to solve problems with cruelty, brutality and murder. As a species we have already matured enough for modern societies to decide that wartime atrocities are crimes; people can be arrested for them, tried and punished. Now we should realise that war is itself a crime against humanity, and grow wise enough to solve our problems another way.

Answer 6

I believe it is wrong.
There is no need to shed innocent lives to fight for something, in my opinion.
I know quite a few people in Iraq currently and it really bothers me.
I believe there could be better ways to solve the things that wars do.

Answer 7

War is wrong. Totally wrong.

Sadly however, it's completely unavoidable and entirely inevitable.

The human race has an underlying pre-disposition for violence and aggression, and that means we will never eradicate warfare.

Answer 8

War is wrong, but how do you avoid it as long as evil exists? Think of all the innocent Jews who died because of Hitler. I bet they welcomed war.

Answer 9

I'll keep it short because the answer could fill a book.
You have to fight for what you believe and what is yours otherwise people will steal everything you own including your self esteem.

Answer 10

War has been around since the beginnings of time . . no real answer for why or who is the victor . . we all lose.
