Assignment 9 - Haley Drake

My question is: do people really decide to go to war? Or are they forced to? In my reasoning, there isn't ever a time for war if it's not an act of desperation and a last resort. There is always time before conflict rises to the point of necessary action. In that time, cooperation should be possible and the conflict resolved. Of course it's unreasonable to have faith that the people in charge will always be open to compromise, so this is where I'd say most wars begin. If only people were able to listen and cooperate even in the height of conflict - then I don't think war would be necessary at all.
