Can you think of a war that you believe was justified ?

The vast majority of wars are based on ‘greed’. Whilst they might claim to have other motives, if you look hard enough, you’ll usually find that greed was the real motive. Should ‘war’ ever be justified? I guess it really depends on what side you are on. There will always be justification in defending yourself and your country. There’s no question about that. Where justification is needed however is starting a war in the first place. We need to look very closely at the motives, and what alternatives could and should have been taken to prevent it. We are part of the international family of man. As in any family, there is a need for acceptance, understanding, and compassion. If we can learn to work together for the betterment of mankind, and to strive for a world free from poverty, where everyone can live a dignified existence, then wars might one day, be a thing of the past. World Peace is not an unreachable dream. It can be attained by giving not by taking.

An impressive composition from you Sir [이름]! Your thoughts about the topics are really great. I hope that the countries will have a give and take relationship.
