War should be avoided at all costs as the after effects are irreversible. The intention of war is to kill the main target. Obstacles cause the attacker(s) to kill people who weren't even involved. When attacking, the aggressor tends to categorize any individual who looks or acts like the main suspect. Places like the Middle East are negatively impacted by categorizing. Unfortunately, the aggression will take many years to calm down meaning more innocent lives will be taken.
Currently, we are in a constant conflict with Syria. Many terrorist groups reside there. Syria constantly plans attacks on the U.S. due to our long history of conflicts with them. Our only smart tactic is match or outsmart them. Our use of drones is a good tactic as it a way to view them without risk of human lives. Unfortunately, Syria is also smart when it comes to technology. Their civilians can create drones just like us. Recently, the Middle East has come up with a new way of terrorism. They have found a way to plant bombs inside their own civilians to use them as bombs.
Human bombs is a tactic that was never expected by any person with logic. Surgically inserting a bomb into a human with intention of killing a mass crowd is crazy. Many Syrians have no remorse nor care for U.S. Civilians. We must constantly monitor their actions before we lose another human to terrorism. Its going to be a long struggle but a life is worth it.
I agree with overseeing Syrian actions but the risks of it are too great to control. No one is comfortable with another person spying on them. Imagine a country watching another country without permission, sort of like eavesdropping on a confidential or extremely personal conversation. No person, community, leader, and country would enjoy that. But due to our long struggle with Syria, spying is the only way to prevent an attack. Sadly, spying causes tension that my worsen the condition of our relationship with Syria. Overall, a tense relationship is safer than unmonitored activity that can result in more lives lost.
I wish war didn't happen. I wish we could live in peace and solve our differences through communication and compromise. Unfortunately, that's not the world we live in. I believe the war is just because as a country we should help those who are defenseless and who are being mercilessly slaughtered.
ReplyDeleteWar is always apart of our everyday life, even if it's not army against army conflicts. It can be war between police and gangs, or war between one ethnic group of a religion vs another. In my own opinion, the only way to claim peace is to unify the nations as one whole government with each country maintaining some form of sovereignty. Then reorganize the military and law enforcement to fight crime, gangs, and acts against humanity. We could also pump money into colonizing outer space and a way to expand humanity. I'm sure with the more and more we connect with social media, the more we will connect as humans and finally tear down all the borders.
ReplyDeleteI agree that war should be avoided at all cost however as Sean said war has become a part of our everyday life. Also when you consider our past and that we haven't learned yet to quit fighting each other. I believe we sadly won't see the end of our fight until we learn to work together to put an end to the fighting.
