war?!?

First off, let me just say that this is one of the reasons I would never want to become a politician, I have issues making opinions about war and expressing them. Also, I would like to say before I get started that I am 110% behind our troops at all time and I thank all service men and women.
Onward! I think there is a time for war, but first we have to try to fix whatever problem is at hand in every other way possible. I think we have all heard about the tragities of war (though they are hard to comprehend if you haven't lived through them yourself), so if there is any way to aviod such situations, I think it is worth a try. However, if we have exhausted all other possibilities and it seems like there is another country or group who may endanger us, I think we need to be ready to go to war. Sounds harsh, but if that is the only way to get something done and our lives to the way they should be, you gotta do what you gotta do.
