War!!! is it good or bad?

Question

I can see why the us government intervenes in other nations business.

Its kinda like if they let other countries just over throw any government they wanted , what do you think would happen when they grew to be a greater power then us. Most of these countries witch try and over throw govermment are similar toHitlerr and arnt going to stop until they over throw all govermments. think of it as international law enforcement. And not to mention all the alliances we have. We would be no different then russia if wdidn't back the alliances we made and keep our word.

Answer 1

You fail to mention that war profiteers make billions of dollars every time a group of people decides to go to war.  

Answer 2

War is h**l, but sometimes we must fight to stay free.  Some of your responders that quote Tom Jefferson and our founding fathers forget that the Declaration of Independence was also a declaration of war on the British!

Answer 3

almost all the founding fathers didn't believe in getting involved in international affairs including George Washington. I feel the same 2. We have a enough problems in America we need to focus on.  

Answer 4

War is always bad. Unfortunately it is often necessary due to the failure of humans to avoid it.

Answer 5

War is an instrument entirely inefficient toward redressing wrong; and multiplies, instead of indemnifying losses.

Thomas Jefferson

"Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. … No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare." James Madison

Answer 6

War is always bad, but it is also always inevitable.  We dream of a world where there will be not war, but we will destroy it before our dreams are ever realized.

Answer 7

just watch jfk film then you will know ooer

Answer 8

It's very good for the manufacturers of armaments.  And a war far away is very, very good for a gang of guilty politicians who want to distract public attention from their misdeeds.

Does this start to ring any bells?   Because it should.
