Assignment 9 - Delaney

     In a perfect world, where everyone and every leader had the same morals and beliefs, there would be no reason for war. As it is, war should be avoidable in most cases. Political leaders should compromise at any cost. But there comes a time when their differences are too great and there is no way to come to an agreement without compromising their own beliefs or morals. 

     If everyone was the same (an entirely different conversation all on its own), there would be no reason for war.  Similarly, the same effect would be caused by everyone being altruistic, and not greedy. A major cause of war is people trying to serve their own needs at the cost of others. 

     People need to care about others. Many times, this will mean not going to war in order to prevent the deaths of the people who would fight in it. However, like in World War Two, when the Americans fought to save the lives of the Jews from the Nazis, the United States was morally obliged to go to war in order to care for others.
