Final Essay 2

I do not think that war is always the solution for everything. Wars are started with disagreements that go way to far. Most of the wars that have happened over the years are started by greedy people like the British starting the wars against the colony's. Other wars have been started by jealousy. By country's that thing one country has it all and they would do anything to try and take it away.
Most wars are not necessary. They are started for stupid reasons or by people who want way to many things. When the colony's were started they were very successful in starting up a country and then the British came along and thought they should just take everything the colonies have created and made it there own. This would be how the American Revolution started. Several wars were during this time and all started over stupid things and taken way to far.
Currently we are with a war in Iraq. Unlike the other wars I think this is a war the started with a good reason. It did not happen because we started it, it happened because they were jealous of our country and we defended it. It is one of the few reasons you should start a war to protect our country and people in it. Lots of people lost our lives that did not deserve it. Now we are there to help them set up a new government and to get things our country needs like oil. I don't think that we still need to have this war but I don't think that we will be stopping it anytime soon because there are still several people dying and we need that to stop.
