The war in Iraq is a very important issue for the entire world, and I would like to write about a perspective I have heard and tend to lean toward.
Each day more people are killed in the war in Iraq. I believe this war is illegal and based on false premises. Premptively attacking a country is terrible and immoral. I am proud to be an American, but very embarrassed and upset that my country is responsible for thousands of unnecessary deaths. I believe that all war is wrong. I do, however, think there is a time to go to war. The only time to go to war is if attacked first. A premptive strike is like attacking a person who carries a knife in his pocket because he could hurt a person with his weapon.
I'm interested to hear what members of the YV community think about the war in Iraq and about when and if there ever is a time for war. I hope those of you who disagree with me will tell me why you share a different opinion. I'm very eager to listen to other perspectives and learn from you.
