Other wars however were for world justice. Hence WWII, at first our goal in the war was to stop the tyranny that was Nazi Germany. Once we discovered the concentration camps, a new reason to fight the war arose. That was a war with chivalry. Wars back then were fought with honor and dignity. Now it's about who has the most nukes, biggest and most effective guns/missiles, how many more ships and planes we have etc. I believe in war when it comes to the defense of your own country, an allied country, or a country that is literally being destroyed by another. We say iraq and afghanistan were about to kill each other. Hmm ok what about Somalia and the rest of Africa? that continent has been in a civil war for decades and no ones doing jack s*** for them, yet we go to iraq and afghanistan because of "WMD's" they supposedly have and end up seeing our gas prices drop about 2 dollars...(my area gallon of gas was 6$ roughly..shortly after Saddam's death gas prices dropped 2$) So in short i believe in wars when it is meant for a righteous reason, not greed or corruption. In this world we live in making war with another country just for land or nay say is stupid. Wasting countless lives for nothing.

Sorry for the rant, these subjects get me hyped.

I used the exact same examples (africa and the gas prices) in another thread. And i completely agree with you.
