False. As the war could be fought for a specious reason. |

False. Self defence may be justified. Aggression, never. |

False.
War is not an solution. It never has been, never will.
Fighting is what children do. Adults should discuss. |

False I hate wars. My brother has been to Iraq 3 times in the past three years does that tell you something? |

absolutely... imagine being repeatedly punched in the face a couple times, then discussing with friends whether or not you should fight back. |

Your premise is flawed.
The answer to your question is "false," but it's constructed in such a way as to prevent any other answer.
Your line is telling: "Of course, the only time that would realistically ever happen is if some other country is already waging war against your country!"
Newsflash to the liberals in this country - Islamic fascists have been waging war against this country - and the whole of the Western world - for the past 30 years.
True, war is not always justified: Hitler had no right to invade the Sudetenland. But 3,000 innocent lives incinerated in one day on the East Coast, in most logical frames of reference, consitutes a declaration of war against our country.
The Bush administration is pursuing war against Isalmic totalitarians that prop up terrorist ideologies in the Middle East, and why not - we're the most powerful nation on earth, and what greatre good could we do than to eradicate terrorism in the world?
Liberals think if only we get the terrorists enough money and land they'll leave us alone. Wrong - terrorists want us DEAD, and they will stop at nothing - literally nothing - until we are all - all of us - stone cold dead. |

War is never OK! War is sometimes necessary, but never OK. |

When dealing with a large group of people there is never a B&W answer because the will never be 2 people that 100% agree. That
being said there will always be wars and rumors of war, some
times you just don't have the luxury of a choice. Coming from a place that was the sight of some of the worst atrocities of WW2 I can tell you that turning the other cheek some times gets you slapped again. |

Going to war is not alwas the best solution to problems. Diplomacies have to be taken into consideration first. But to war mongers/those who are thirsty for blood of it is right to go to war at any time. |

False... Wars are not necessarily the best way, it appears to me that Leaders decide on the war and everyone else fights it in most cases.
It would seem that in this day in age, we could resolve an issue differently. |

No. War is only OK if it's a just war. It's not what society chooses, but what contributes to the good of society that counts. |
|

|
It's not always ok! You got troops out there risking their lives because President Bush and Bin Laden & Saddam didn't like each other. We're in war right now because our stupid president doesn't know how to keep his nose in he's own business!!!
I WILL SAY THAT I DO SUPPORT OUR TROOPS AND WANT THEM TO COME HOME REAL SOON!!! |

Just because you convince them that the way is tbe best option, doesnt make it "OK"... |

Hey to me its ok. I would be all up for helping my country Canada. If you want to be in the war go right ahead but if you feal unsafe then don't join.... Simple as that. |

You're advancing a false dichotomy. Whether it's "OK" to go to war is neither always true, nor always false. Like most things in life, the only accurate answer is "it depends". |

War is always the LAST option. If diplomacy doesn't work or those 'wonderful' U.N. resolutions *snicker* then I guess you do have to try to garner support for the decision to go to war. I would have to say false if the other avenues have not been explored.
Have a great day!!! |

It is not always ok to send other peoples children to die. FALSE! |

Other than your use of the word "always" I would have to say yes. I believe that is one of the results of the function of democracy. |

There was no deception in the wars between Scotland and England in the 13th and 14th centuries..England wanted Scotland and Scotland wanted to stay independent.and the answer to your question which was a good one,is yes when the reason is to protect your homeland where the possibility is apparent that the other nation in question has the capability to occupy your homeland.Unfortunately the wars today are not that cut and dry.. |

Sure. Last night I sneezed. LET'S GO TO WAR! says the politician and the masses said YES AND BLESS YOU! |

lundstroms2004

false.
but your statement is also not a good enough reason to go to war.
simply put, you go to war for treasure, revenge, or to kill someone before they can muster the force to kill you. Does not matter if a majority or a minority makes the decision.
The USA has never gone to war for treasure alone, although we did early on enjoy the concessions of war. We have gone to war for revenge, like when Stephen Decatur led the marines into Tripoli against the Barbary Pirates.
The American revolution was supported and fought by only 1/3 the population. Yet they went to war and won. Cromwell went to war with 1/5 the ruling class behind him, yet won...only to loose the peace. |

So if you convinced 50.01% of people that going to war was OK and 49.99% of the people vehemently opposed it, even if you somehow avoided using any deception in your arguments, that would make it OK to go to war? I must disagree.
False. |

War is never ok...necessary yes...unavoidable, sometimes...but never ok.
Truth from our "democratic representatives"?
That is an oxymoron, my friend, much like "military intelligence". Remember, this country was founded on truth, equality and RELIGIOUS FREEDOM (ie, the right to express oneself and religious beliefs and convictions) but because we have allowed the judicial branch to rule the country, we have a bunch of lawyers running the show, liars who can "convience and be convienced" that war is a viable option and should be undertaken.
War is a last resort, used when there is no other choice. Good question, though and it will spark debate, productive I hope. |

War is the first option of ignorant people. There is ALWAYS a better way if you have only the imagination to think of it. |
