What is it Good For? Jania Stevenson

Obviously war is never good. Many innocent people are killed and things are destroyed, but sometimes violence may be necessary. If a country is attacked, you must retaliate. You never know if it is a single attack planned, or if there will be multiple attacks so you can't just sit there and possibly let more innocent civilians be harmed. But when you think about it, why would a country need to attack another country anyway? There are other ways to solve problems. And if that country is really important to you, like with resources and other things, you'll probably try your best not to ruin your relationship, especially with something like killing it's people. Sometimes you need to make a point, like when you curse or yell during an argument; show that you mean business. But there are also nonviolent ways to do that. So in my opinion war may be necessary at times, but it can actually be avoided before it even needs to be used.
