What Is It Good For? -Caroline Totty

I personally do not think war is a necessity in our world. I think it is an extremely cruel way to deal with issues. A country sends millions of men and women into another country to kill off and attack a large population, and in the process thousands are killed several thousand of which are completely innocent. I think having a military is important for terrorist attacks and just to protect your country, but going into another country to invade is not. Protect your own country, don't start problems in other countries. If something really horrible happens like a country nukes another country then maybe it is okay to go to war, but I think there are ways around it. Meetings with leaders to come up with treaties would be a good way. Whether there is a war or not the fighting will have to stop eventually so why start it in the first place? Unless you kill off the entire population it does no good. I think war is violent and cruel and something that can and should be avoided at all costs because and innocent person should never have to willingly lose their life.
