when is war justified?
GoodLuvn169:
i will remain indifferent on this subject for now. but i want to know what poeple think about war. do we attack if we see a threat brewing, or do we wait until we have been struck... thoughts?
The Ghost When I Zone Off:
I think it depends on how we interpret "brewing". This time around we thought Iraq had WMD and thought that there could potentially be a threat. Of course, there was no WMD and we admited we fucked up(or at least the ones that could swallow their pride) , but in most cases a problem should be taken care of before it gets out of hand. It also depends on who you let take care of the problem; with our current government it seems like we want to kill anybody who has the potential to sneak more than a rifle around their country without our knowing, so we have been a little overly gung-ho lately. However, yes war can be justified if there is actual proof without a shadow of a doubt that there will be a problem if a threat isn't neutralized.

war is justified if an other country attacked you or has annouced war on you or your allies, USA in afghanistan and iraq was absolutely unjustified and if there was something like hell which isnt, the neocons would definitly go there.

I know the circumstances, but if some crazy dudes in columbine would have attacked china or somethin lol, would it be right for China to bomb the trash out of the US? doubt it. also, if the perpretraitors of 9/11 would be citizens of a more so-called civilized country like e.g. England, France or Germany, you cant tell me they wouldve bombed this country lol.
