Free Essays on Why War

Why we shouldn't go to war with Iraq By With the publication of a report in last week's New York Times about the Bush administration's plans for the invasion of Iraq, it seems that war with that country is fairly certain. Previous rhetoric from the president or one or another of his surrogates could always be explained as some kind of politically driven chest-thumping, but it's hard to see the political advantage of the kind of secret and detailed war plan the Times disclosed. The details in fact sound pretty ferocious. "The document envisions tens of thousands of marines and soldiers probably invading from Kuwait. Hundreds of warplanes based in as many as eight countries, possibly including Turkey and Qatar, would unleash a huge air assault against thousands of targets, including airfields, roadways and fiber-optics communications sites." The Times' description makes it sound like the biggest war flick since The Sands of Iwo Jima. Indeed, it sounds bigger and far more violent than anything the United States has carried out since at least the "liberation" of Kuwait (i.e., the restoration of the despotic emirate that the Iraqi armed conquest had toppled) and perhaps since well before that.

Free Essays on Why War Why War What happens to the aggressive instinct when people unite to form a lawful society they still do violent things but they think it is right because the community backs it. I believe that they still act in violence but they do it through the community so they believe it is not wrong. What it is controlled violence thought the community and nothing else. It is just having the hole community making the dictions in steed of one person , but they are still acting in violence they just have the backing of a majority of the community this is what I believe that they are saying in there letters.
