I think I got the following sentence from a final fantasy game/movie.. whatever..
There is no right or wrong side in a war, just two sides holding different beliefs. So either side fighting the war will say our reasons for war is justified and the other is not. However, history will write itself that the winner of the war is right, and thus, justified. Therefore, justified causes for war be damned. QUOTE(not_for_anything @ Jun 13 2005, 8:56 PM) I too am anti-war, unless there really is a reason, Vietnam, Iraq, Afganastan, all were uncalled for...seeing as there were no WMD, we had no business in Iraq, and well we should have left the Vietnameese alone with their oil!, unnecessary deaths...no reasons, except pride. I guess only wars i can understand are religious wars, although I dont understand how they think they are serving justice..by more killing.  What are you saying about the Vietnamese? I think you meant Iraq... But um... please don't say that the Vietnam war was uncalled for because it demeans the lives of those who fought for freedom and against oppression. |
