Is War Necessary
Is war necessary? In my opinion war is not necessary. There are many kinds of wars taking place in our countries most of which are not necessary and justifiable. Wars do not solve misunderstandings but in deed lead to loss of innocent lives and destruction of property worth millions of money. In ‘The Decision to Drop the Bomb’, the attack of 1992 was not necessary and lead to deaths of many innocent people. War did not solve anything instead it lead to trauma and injuries experienced by people to date. The towers were destroyed which hosted many people who were affected by those bombs (Davidson & Lytle 2). Countries should respect each other instead of fighting. The explosions affected many people and caused harm to the environment. Wars not only lead to destruction of property, loss of people but they cause environmental harm and damage. From this perspective it is important to learn that wars are not necessary and should be discouraged by looking for peaceful ways of solving disputes.
In the film ‘Why We Fight’ some countries and military justify themselves after being involved in wars. The United States invaded Iraq in 2003 without justifiable reasons. After the Second World War America has invaded many countries and has also been invaded (Jarecki n.p). There are no reasons to start wars since they lead to economic and political downfall. Political leaders influence wars since most governments support wars to other countries. Iraq is prone to attacks by the United States. American Arabs face racism in America since they are associated with terror attacks which occur in America. Wars are therefore not necessary since they widen the gap between different nations. Peaceful methods of solving ideological differences should be supported. Countries involved in terror attacks and fights face economic instability and that should be avoided.
Can we live in a world (one day) with peace? In my opinion we can live in a peaceful world without wars and fights. Wars can be avoided through peaceful methods of solving disputes. A peaceful world is what everybody would desire for. Political stability is possible especially when leaders solve their ideological differences. Many people’s desires and hope across the globe that one day all wars and conflicts will end where people will live peacefully with great harmony. Currently, many nations are suffering destabilization following aftermaths of increased wars where others are left hugely depted as others try to cover up the loses and destructions the war brings (Ledbetter 274). Wars are not only physically suffered but also cause mental and psychological distortion to people. Although nations might cover up economic loses, the lost souls are irreplaceable bringing the main reason as to why war is unnecessary.
President Eisenhower urges the government and military forces to remain calm under triggering no wars under influence or not (Ledbetter 274). Military forces are hired mostly to fight against a warfare using hefty and expensive armaments, which become a big lose to the losing nations in case of defeat. Following his great concern for peace in the nations, President Eisenhower emphasizes on resolving indifferences peaceful without necessarily using powers. Although global wars help define superiority of nations, it is always wise to consider the multiple advantages aligned with peaceful states (Ledbetter 274). Peaceful nations enjoy tax dollars for nation building strategies, economic growth and stability. This will foster international integrations without fear where nations should exchange ideas and ensuring harmony and integrity. Considering the above discussion, it is my opinion that war is not necessary meaning that peace should be maintained globally.
