Obviously, this means that not everyone in the war signed up to fight. The people who were drafted had no choice but to fight for their country. Do you really think that the people who didn't choose for this to happen to them were murderers? I don't think it is fair to pin such a heavy name on people who only wanted to serve their country and protect the citizens, or maybe didn't even want anything to do with the war in the first place.Lizzie Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08014675975957929056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600486424601737698.post-15397077174483792282010-06-02T02:13:06.363-07:002010-06-02T02:13:06.363-07:00Religions don't even give us good morals.

Its shocking to me how few Christians, for example, are aware that their god murders millions, advocates slavery and other evil acts. Also, religious warfare is unacceptable, as it is rooted in irrationality, like almost all wars..https://www.blogger.com/profile/17214092824147895592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600486424601737698.post-36577533978149365382010-06-01T22:37:24.617-07:002010-06-01T22:37:24.617-07:00Yeah I see what you're saying.

Usually religions are meant to give us good morals, and killing is obviously not morally correct. Religions are though of more as peaceful than violent. In what other way could religions resolve their problems?Nitsugahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01245592632972266278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600486424601737698.post-43183010119498550852010-06-01T22:30:51.114-07:002010-06-01T22:30:51.114-07:00I'm not saying I believe church and state shou...I'm not saying I believe church and state should be united.

A lot of the wars that some countries enter are because of religious governments, and if there wasn't any religious governments this would prevent many of the wars that go on.Nitsugahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01245592632972266278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600486424601737698.post-36739740963576620702010-06-01T22:20:20.098-07:002010-06-01T22:20:20.098-07:00I can understand a religious war, because if one r...I can understand a religious war, because if one religion is taking over another, or if one religion occupies another's "Holy Land", you would want to do anything to protect your religion or recapture the "Land of God".Mark Adlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02835442211191634506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600486424601737698.post-40771115245722192222010-06-01T22:13:54.299-07:002010-06-01T22:13:54.299-07:00Good point Mark.

A war should only occur if the majority of the population agrees to it. I also like Cy's idea of making war a crime and making it so that it is just not allowed.Nitsugahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01245592632972266278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600486424601737698.post-70058803231711841242010-06-01T19:47:56.996-07:002010-06-01T19:47:56.996-07:00In my opinion, some wars are started because polit...In my opinion, some wars are started because politicians and governments disagree about something, so they start a war, where many people die for pointless reasons.Mark Adlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02835442211191634506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600486424601737698.post-52553980509612869882010-06-01T18:27:43.877-07:002010-06-01T18:27:43.877-07:00I don't think we should be paying tribute to m...I don't think we should be paying tribute to murderers. Why should we honor men who signed up to kill people, many of which were innocent civilians? War is a crime. Our actions in WWI were not actions of self defense, they were actions of aggression and violence..https://www.blogger.com/profile/17214092824147895592noreply@blogger.com
