OBSERVATIONS ON WAR:
It is only OK to go to war in defense of your country. To attack another country that has not attacked you is evil and it is also mass murder.
The greatest evil today comes from governments were people have been brain washed into believing that they have an obligation to obey and to do whatever there told to do by government. The biggest mass murders in history come from people blindly following there governments orders.
Attacking and committing mass murder on a foreign country is a form of discrimination. You would never think it is OK to murder people who live in your country but for some reason if told by government to murder people in another country, most people won't have a problem with that.
If every country believed that wars should be fought for self defense only. Then we would have no wars because no one would be attacking first. But when certain governments believe that you can attack another country that has not attacked you. That it what really causes all the wars.
Just because government is telling you to murder innocent people does not make it OK to do. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or who tells you to do it. You can't excuse evil acts by saying I was just following orders. Your a human being and you should be able to think for yourself and you should know the difference between right and wrong. You are responsible for your own actions.

IN CLOSING:
All people are created equal and have certain individual rights which are the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Individual rights cannot be given away or taken away. We can do as we please within our rights, as long as we do not violate the rights of others. No one has the right to harm you, steal from you, threaten you, or violate your rights.
We own ourselves. No one can claim even partial ownership over you without violating your rights. Self-ownership means not only that you own yourself, but everyone owns themselves. The best way to ensure respect for our self-ownership is to respect the rights of others. Without self-ownership, there is no freedom.
All interactions between people should be voluntary.
To help secure our individual rights, governments may be created, deriving their powers from the consent of the governed. Whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter it, abolish it, or withdraw there consent to be governed.
