War really is a great invention. Its like murder only legal. One country thinks of a reason to invade another, goes in and kills masses of people including people from both sides. On the one hand you have the invaders thinking they have good cause to try and capture a country but on the other you have the other wanting tue freedom and trying to defend themselves. Both parties may be wrong or right and both with almost certainly beleive in what they are fighting for.
Im sure one country could find a legitimate reason to invade any other country if they really wanted to, as long as the motivation was there... greed, power or just general craziness.
Surely there must be peaceful resolutions to many situations. Now personally I beleive every living being is entitled to its own life. Now it is not our decision to take any life away from any being. When it comes to murder is it legal? No.. why? Well would you like your life taken away from you? You may say that some laws take away our own free will, this is true but this law, it prevents free will from being taken, if you loose your life do you have free will any longer?
Now I take two situations for example:
1. One person says something another doesn't agree with, the person who doesn't agree then argues the point and it gets very tense and hostile
2. Same situation as above but the person who doesn't agree accepts the other persons view and does not confront them
Now in the first situation both parties could get very hurt and upset but in the second both parties are accepting of each other(and their views) and nobody gets hurt.
Now when it comes to war, it should be fought on the cyber battlefield or not at all as opposed to messing with real life. Technically George W Bush and John Howard are murderers, they sent their men into battle getting some of those men killed and the men from other countries. I do not beleive in the death sentence but GW Bush does and of all people he deserves it more than anybody based on his own actions.
I will take another example. China invades Tibet, Tibet would like to be free but they try their hardest to avoid a confronting and hostile situation, still China invades, what Tibet does is very admirable, they walk away. Now you may say "but they lost their country", but the answer to that is "but they didnt loose their lives"
The lives of all beings are valuable. Do not support war, it is dangerous. I urge all to accept others as equal and allow others to be entitled to their own opinion, if you can see that someone may react in a hostile way to a certain view you hold do not express it.
May you all live in harmony with each other.
