Is war OK as long as other people die?

Question

Then shouldn't we provoke wars with middle eastern countries in order to win their oil?

Answer 1

That's exactly what the u.s does , but not just oil but also they start wars for political power and to reinforce their hold on poor countries

No william k! we never have and we never want to not if they brainwash us like they did to you

Answer 2

I am guessing no.

Answer 3

War is OK if the other people die.  If your choice is us dying or them dying I'll choose them every time.  We are fighting an enemy that doesn't want to be free, they just want us to die.  We have no choice but to kill them first.  If some of the people that provide support, and harbor them get hurt or killed by accident they should have been more careful with whom they associated.

I disagree with the notion that we have some responsibility to protect foreigners from their own governments.  The only justification for War is self preservation.

Answer 4

wars are stupid when you kill someone no matter how or when or why its still murder and we just push it off saying o its war no its murder and why would you wanna go over to iraq to kill someone who never did anything to you someone who has friends and family we try to justify it but its all lies

Answer 5

you want us to kill for oil when we have our own here? war is sometimes necessary when places like the sudan and iraq kill hundreds of thousands because they can. if only there were a way to ask everybody nicely to stop it, but until then.....

Answer 6

You don't know what you are talking about. Period.

I can tell that snotty little whiners like you have never served.

Not allowed to serve? Bull. Ever hear of "don't ask, don't tell" before? You STILL don't know what you're talking about. You just don't have what it takes to commit to anything.

Answer 7

war is stupid... why can't we just talk about things

Answer 8

No, war is OK when life and Liberty are the spoils. Responsible nations can not stand idly by in witness of genocide.

Now MissLorax, We aren't fighting Iraq, we are defending their fledgling government until they can do it. McCain doesn't want to keep fighting, he simply wants to secure the peace so this was not in vain.

I am a republican and I have no animosity towards g**s. I think they should enjoy the same rights as the rest of us.

Answer 9

Americans really don't know what war is. They have largely been spared any real damage from war and despite loss some of life they have emerged stronger ecomonically from nearly all the the last centuries wars.  Europe, Japan, Russia, China, the far East and the Middle East all know what it's like to have their countries devasted and millions of their citizens killed.  America has yet to learn the real downside of war. People like McCain are part of the military industrial complex and his first loyalty is to the military and not the people of this nation.

As for g**s in the Military - who'd want to be a part of something so disgraceful as legally sanctioned discrimination? Disgusting.
