Assignment 9- Ella Jensen

I believe that war only has a time and place when defending the weak or rebelling against the oppressive. Although there are more than a handful of exceptions, war should do good. So no matter how many “weapons of mass destruction” there were in Iraq, we never should of gone in. On the other hand, we should go into Syria and help rescue refugees because they can do nothing to protect themselves. Few cases it is the lesser of two evils. For example, the civil war was necessary to keep our union together and not risk dividing into two. And if the south seceded successfully then they most likely would have had slavery well into the 20^th century. But the strong political loyalty, which even I recognize in myself, has caused our world to seek out violence over most diplomatic compromise. If we strive for more compromise and work together, we could live in a more peaceful society.
