Analysis of Is This War Necessary
We go through life teaching our children
to always be nich and not fight with each other.
We are sent into a war to try and make peace,
then again you can't have war and peace at the same time.
We go into one war and before we finish it,
we proceed into another war some place else.
Is this war we are in right now necessary?
Our family is away from us fighting in these wars.
I only hope that they come home safely to us again.
I wonder if this war is necessary.
Or are we in it to just be over powering to these countries?
We don't make the decisions to go into war.
We just follow the higher order that is given to us.
Ask yourself.
Is this war truely necessay?
Then think of all of the loved ones we have lost in the past.
