War? What is it good for?

Some people will say that there is no such thing as a good war. That’s an interesting thought, yet so flawed. I can’t say that I’m a big advocate of war, but there are necessary events that shape humanity that must happen, and war is one of them.sThe United States exists because of WAR! The revolutionary war, war with the Indians, and the bloodiest civil war that has ever happened amongst Americans.sWe continue down the rosy path of war with WWI, WWII, Korea, Viet Nam and various other campaigns of the 20th Century.sNow in the 21st Century we chose to battle a tyrant. Sure, you can call this a war for oil, or you can say that this is the liberation of people. I would say that this is bigger than a quest for black gold.sWho would say that it is better for Saddam to stay in power than for America to take the actions that it is doing today? The Arab communities of the Middle East?sWe have an obligation to keep America safe from all enemies, foreign and domestic. This threat is bigger than Saddam; it spills over into the entire region. With his regime causing instability within the ranks of the Palestinians, he has incited the suicide-bombings with payoff of families that encourage their children to become terrorists. This is totally unacceptable, furthermore can bring the world to the edge of a bigger war if Israel is forced to battle the Arab world.sA safe world depends on America doing it’s part, and we are.sAsk yourself where we might be if there had never been a war in the last two hundred years. What would be here in America?s-J
