Assignment 9 - Dylan Spradlin

Among the many threats that surround our country and great nation, violence and war should never be considered as the end result. To provide for our national defense was founded as the basis of the Constitution for our nation in order to protect and preserve the rights of all citizens. Therefore, war is never the answer and amounts to nothing beneficial. There should never be a time where we must resort to war in order to solve a problem. The power lays all in the hands of our nations leaders, together they must work in harmony and peace, or else conflict will arise. Although in the past, a countries power may have been determined by the strength of their military, we have moved far beyond that point. To continue our evolution as a country, and even globally with international relations---war is never the way to react. Alternatives should be put in place in order to maintain unity among nations, including controlling gun policies more strictly and furthering peaceful relations  between nations countries.
