Why Shouldn't: There are generally other ways to deal with international issues than going to war. Using "Just War" is a way to trivialize other options which may be possible instead of war. Also, resonsible and credible dissention is an important part of our political system. It's helps the US continually reevaluate policies.

Why Should: A nation generally needs to come together in support of military action. It helps the morale of the troops, and it sends a message to our enemies that the US will not back down from a fight. Unless there is a significant reason that a citizen has to oppose war, that citizen should support the war effort or at least remain silent in the mean times.

War is stupid.

It's like asking why don't we be stupid.
