Why do you think when people validate war and peoples death for freedom?

Question

This is not a biased question.

Answer 1

My Grandmother told me stories of her life in Poland during the late 1800 and how they had to live. It was a serf type of life. They had nothing, everything belong to the landlord, he wrote the rules, They were more or less slaves. She was the laundress at 12 years old and worked before dawn and until after dark everyday. They weren't allowed meat in their diet unless the landlord had a special occationa and let them have the leftovers. Usually a wedding, Christmas, etc.

She told her mother, her sister and her left one spring day, they had no shoes, no money, one dress apiece and a hat. At 16 years old they struck out across Eastern Germany and headed for the coast. Her relatives gave them the money needed for passage to America and the money to enter, you needed so much to get in. Freedom wasn't free.

They traveled many days, barefoot, they stole food from gardens and begged, they weren't alone. They met other running away from this type of life. My grandfather did the same.

They came here with the clothes they were wearing. They earned their freedom the hard way, I never have forgotten her trek and honor her for it. I have never fogotten like so many of these young kids that don't know what freedom is.
I thought of my Grandmother when I was in the jungles of Viet Nam, and scared to death when I was just 18 years old. I prayed to her to see me through the cold wet nights. I'm sure she heard me. Although I was wounded twice, I came home. Freedom is not "free"

Answer 2

Ah, alas, we come to the question of today's generation: when is war justified by freedom? Is it our job to decide who gets freedom and who doesn't? For that matter, is it our job to decide what is freedom? Sure, we have more rights than any other country on Earth. Sure, we are the home to the idea of "freedom." But, what has that freedom cost us? Our country has stretched far from the Founding Fathers' original dream of a nation. We abuse our freedoms to take advantage over others. We have the highest murder rate of any 1st world country and almost every other country in the world. There are more gangs in United States than in any other country in the world. We use our freedoms to manipulate society, the beaurocratic system, and the legal system to a point where crime is not only rampid, but accepted in our community. How many times do we see murders and rapists go free because of a legal technicality. It was our manipulation and abuse of our freedom that caused so many loopholes to be made in our government. We declare wars on other countries that we feel threaten our freedom, but we threaten our own freedom more than any other country does. No country would dare attack us when we have WMDs up the ying-yang. We are more of a danger to other nations' freedom than they are to ours. As the most powerful nation in the world, we are teaching the other countries to behave like us. We are teaching the world to lower their society as we have. We are teaching the world to accept the high murder rates, the diseases, the gangs, and the overpopulation problems. We cannot validate war by saying it's a preemptive strike to defend our freedom, because we are the cause of it all. We are hated throughout the world not because we are the most powerful nation, but because we are the most abusive nation. Sure, we aren't dictators, terrorists, and the like. But we are power-hungry, wealthy, manipulative, and self-destructive. That is far more dangerous than a loony dictator in the middle of the desert. For us to claim war on other nations to protect our freedoms, we must first exterminate the domestic problems that threaten us and our freedom far more than a distant maniac. Sure, Suddam Hussein was an evil, murderous dicator who deserved to be removed from power and severely punished. But we must have our priorities. We must first get our own country under control before we start policing the world.

If their validation is based on the same ground like George Bush's, then they are screwed up in the head, otherwise it is OK as freedom is so precious
