It really bugs me when people see war as the ultimate evil. All of he soldiers that I know are willing to sacrifice their lives so that way people can avoid something much worse than war: slavery under tyranny. (For those who think that America overreacted, please read the grievances against King George that you can find in the Declaration of Independence.)War is an evil, yes. But it is a necessary evil to achieve the good of peace and to avoid those evils that are worse than war. And we should celebrate whenever people have the courage to endure great evils so that greater evils will not take place(In order to stem some of the retorts that will undoubtedly appear, yes, I am aware that not all wars are just, yes, I do believe that it is a horrible tragedy when innocent people are caught in the “crossfire”, and yes, I am aware that war is not the answer to all problems. But sometimes war IS the answer, and then it should not be avoided.)
June bugs.
