War Is Not the Answere
Misak Michael Tadevossian
War is not the answer!
Are innocent lives in exchange for uncertainty really the answer? War does not guaranty solutions however it does promise death. When a government takes the lives of young children with motives of power and profit, always claiming that its reasons are pure and morally just, for example, "Operation Iraqi Freedom", it violates its promise to the country of its pursuit of happiness. War does not discriminate. Everyone is affected, including woman, children, the rich and the poor. War does not know the difference between good and evil; it takes all in its path. It seems like this century there would be many people that have been affected in some way by wars destruction. Especially the children of the world. We need to think of children all over the world as our own. If we understand this idea than we must find another way to a solution other than war. “I destroy my enemies when I make them my friends.” Abraham Lincoln, 16th president of the United States. The bitter sweet right to die for your country. Most of the time there is no real threat and your die for nothing. This was the idea of famous poet Wilfred Owen. In his poem Dulce Et Decorum Est, he explains that the sweet right to die for your country is a lie. “The old Lie; Dulce et Decorum est Pro patria mori.” The only outcome of a sweet right to die is a miserable, without cause, death. The aftermath of war is an uncertainty, chaos, regret, devestation of life and the transformation of the land into landscapes of enduring terror. Soldiers who perish in war are looked at as numbers. Government does not care about casualties as long as they progress with there motives. War in the twentieth century is a lie. This was a unmistakable conspiracy. Those who died in these wars did not die for their countries. They died for their government. They died for the lies of Bush,
