Assignment 9- Will Shapiro

While war can be very unfortunate for those involved, I think that for the most part, it is a necessary evil. Now, to clarify, I think that only certain types of war are worth fighting. Wars that are over new territory are lame. Its just unnecessary lives lost when the same goal could be gained using money. Unfortunately, the bullies of the world don't see it that way. Other wars, like the on on ISIS I feel are completely necessary. When a group such as ISIS is going around and killing many and capturing land in Iraq and Syria. War against those turds is needed to stop them from doing more damage to others. Is it morally right? Nah. It would be much nicer if we could all just sit down at a table and have a conversation ending in "oh I didn't know we were being so mean, we will stop now. Sorry". Unfortunately, that kind of stuff doesn't happen, and some people only listen to force. Ultimately, war is a necessary evil, but sometimes it is the lesser of two evils.
