War is a necessary evil.
While I am certainly an advocate for peace, there comes a time where war is inevitable. When a nation refuses to cooperate, when human lives are put at stake through non-action, or when peace negotiations have been exhausted, war is the best option for the sake of maintaining a structure within the world. Although war is sometimes the right choice it comes at a great cost. The nations fighting, the civilians within the war zone and the lives that war touches are all victims of the consequences of fighting. Yet, despite the cost of going to war, it is the worlds duty to ensure that the lives of the greater are secured by the lives of the few. War is gruesome. It is destructive, harmful, and painful. But, we as citizens of not only our countries but of the world must realize that some wars must be fought. From the wreckage of battle grows new hope. From the terror of war grows new peace. And from the fight of nations grows new balance.
