Sticks and Stones Will Break My Bones, But Words Will Never Hurt Me

War is hard for me to understand, let alone talk about. On one hand I don't think any one should be subject to the horrors of violence that occur during war yet on the other sometimes I think war is necessary. Personally I think war should only be considered when great humanitarian injustices are being committed. When the problem is economical or regarding something in that area I think those issues should be worked out through treaties and compromises. I understand that most people think war is inevitable but I like to believe that humanity is good enough to avoid it at all costs. The time when I think war should be tolerated is when human injustices are being committed. In instances like WWII when the only thing that would deter Hitler from killing millions was military defeat then I can understand war. I do not feel that the U.S. should impose its power on countries without their consent or specific human rights issues supported by other countries. Violence should be avoided at all costs. During the Second World War, Einstein said he didn't know how the Third World War would be fought but he knew the fourth would be fought with sticks and stones. In a world where communication is so easily achieved between countries and cultures war should be resisted and peace talks initiated.
