Assignment 9-Sara Ueland

War is hotdog water. We should strive to avoid war at all costs but we all know total peace is unattainable. The time for war is when every option at resolving the conflict humanely fails and the opposition does not cooperate.  It is difficult to argue that killing others to get your way is morally right. One does not hope to go to war and risks the lives of hundreds it is a last resort. The Revolutionary War for example was a time where Britain was infringing on the rights of colonists and a revolt was necessary to gain freedom. Aside from the deaths and hardships, America accomplished their main objective, freedom and independence. This serves as an example for a responsible decision to go to war and fight for our freedom. Because ‘Murica. In my opinion, a country should go to war when nothing else can be done and their rights are being violated, which is why the Revolutionary War is an example of a productive and smart decision.

The obvious alternative is to negotiate a treaty and find a compromise but that is very difficult in this time and age with a booming population of stubborn and pompous individuals. A treaty would be more effective because both sides win and save the debt and lives that would have been lost in a war.
