Other people have pointed out that we were actually the aggressor in Iraq because they didn't attack us (though we were defending innocent people) so I'll talk about why war is wrong.\n\nThe problem with war, philosophically, isn't war itself.  It's that in every war, innocent people will get hurt and die.  That's considered murder (yes, I know it's called collateral damage, but taking someone's life who is not threatening you is considered murder).  If we could have a war in which only people who consented to being in the war would be involved in the war, then you could have a moral war.  But that won't happen - even the best people when put into horrible situations will have to make decisions between one bad or another.

i dont know if your a religious person, and im sorry if your not, but from what ive heard from the bible and stuff is that there is war to make the world go on. and in the bible it says when there is peace, and all war has stopped, that will be the end of the world. so if you think about it, war is aactually a good thing. i hope that helped. and again, sorry if your not a religious person. it some times offened religious people when others talk about god and the bible. so, sorry.

I wholeheartedly agree with your skepticism.  There is no purpose to the war that we are fighting.  It is a quagmire, and the one who got us there in the first place is too proud to admit that.  \n\nSadly, in George Bush Sr's Memiors, he specificially said that it was a bad idea to invade Iraq because something like this would happen.

War costs money!\n\nOne complete sentence.

first of all war is not evil, okay let me rephrase war is evil if it is to kill and murder innocent but if war is declared to stop evil for instance Hitler majorty of the world will agree that hitler was evil yes? But if it wasn't the wars he would still have his way... what I am trying to say is war is not evil if it is fought for the right reasons, for freedom, for the innocent, and against evil to stop evil i might add something later on to this but for now this is it. gtg

Rember, war never solved anything. Except ending slavery, facism, nazism, colonialsm, communism, and the holocost.

war is part of human nature and it will always be part of our lives...it is the psychological need for conflict that drives our instinct to fight....without it we would be passive and unable to survive as a species

War starts because of power. Someone has it and someone else wants it. Also religion is a major cause of war. I think that if there was no religion we would all be much better off.

No, war is only the solution when one side refuses to comply and negotiate in a major problem and even resorts to violent tactics.

I disagree with your premise that war has been the only means.  There has been many, many disagreements that have been worked out and resulted in treaties.\n \nTo me, it seems the world has been moving closer and closer to peace over time, until we (U.S.) were attacked.  That brought a realization that there is a different type of enemy lurking.  \n\nI wouldn't demonize you for wanting peace.  I would demonize you for not recognizing that war can be necessary from time to time, and that war now could bring about peace later.

Unfortunately, there has always been war, and I have no reason to think that the world will ever be completely free from it.  There has never been complete world peace and I don't think there ever will be.  \n\nI'm not of the doom and gloom mentality, I'm just realistic.  And if you're the least bit religious, then you know that this world is corrupt and total peace will never exist here.

War should be considered as the ultimate failure of a civilised society.\n\nWhen violence is the only answer, we are obviously don't have the intelligence to find the right questions.

No kidding.  War, like all violence, is bad.  Have you ever noticed how it's frequently the soldiers who understand this best?  Yet for interesting reflection, check out just war theory.

World peace is such a beautiful idea, isn't it? I would really love for everyone to be able to get along. However, realistically speaking, that just isn't how things are. Wars have existed since the beginning of times, and I'm sure will continue throughout the end of times. The reason being is because there are more greedy, selfish, hateful SOBs out in the world than there are loving people. Everyone always wants to be right, and many will to go whatever lengths to try to prove it. \nIt's a sad and cruel world.

Neither, do not you know by now War is not the answer?  Why can not we learn from history?   No one Wins We all lose. Peace on earth, good will toward men.  Are we destined to repeat the same mistakes since Abel and Cain?, No it doesn't have to be.  But according to Bible yes, even in the last days, there will be wars and rumours of wars.  Whew!!! All the turmoil gets old.
