This I Believe–Zach

Posted by jefferson8 on March 3rd, 2008

I believe that without war there is no peace. That without war you can’t have a time of rebuilding for the next. When you get rid of war you get rid of the chance for peace. There isn’t a hugely famous book called “War or Peace,” it’s called “War and Peace.” Without war there is no chance to have the things we like. Things like freedom from control and the freedom of speech. The freedom to own a gun or the right to pursue happiness, the right to a speedy trial of our peers. They are all rights and freedoms brought to us by war. I’m not trying to preach global domination but we need wars like ww1, ww2, and the War on Terror. The press only reports bad things about the war, we never see the good that comes from it. Instead of saying “yay” that no American troops are dying, the press is saying that we are putting funeral homes out of business. We are helping a country with war, and getting rid of terrorists. War is like a filter for the countries involved in it. It purifies both countries involved by getting rid of the problems. I believe that when you don’t fight for something, you will end up with nothing left to fight for. Hitler was an evil man, but he proved something to me. The people who fought against him won their freedom and the war, and those who laid down for him were killed. When you don’t fight, you don’t have anything to fight for. I believe that without war there is no peace. I believe that when you don’t fight for yourself, you lose yourself. I believe that war creates peace, because the day after a battle all sides help the others to gather the dead and all are equal. When we all fight for the good of ourselves, we only help our self. The people who fight for the good of all sides are the people who help the most. There is peace among them no matter what side. That’s why you need war to have peace.

  2. bret Says:

    Even though I dont believe we should be in iraq, this is still an extremly well thought out and good piece of literary work.

  3. joey Says:

    I COMPLETLY disagree how can you say war is good war is never good you can’t make peace from war you can’t make freedom from war. Alquida attacks us and we are now racsist toward all middle eastern people. While i disagree i do think you have the right idea on being a conservative.
