It's the only option...

When a country’s security is threatened, it is the country’s duty to protect the citizens by whatever means necessary. Therefore, when a catastrophic event occurs like the September 11^th attacks or the attack on Pearl Harbor or another equally threatening event, it is time for war. When a country goes to war with another, the goal should not be to destroy the other country and its citizens, but rather to find the source of the problem and attack it specifically. In the case of the War on Terror, many uninvolved civilians were also killed. This is not necessary. Attack the ones who are at fault. Not the innocent ones. Unfortunately, that isn’t always possible. War is not morally right, but what is in the world these days? There is really not an effective alternative to war and even if an alternative existed, it would probably not be used. As sad as it is, the world is used to attempting to solve its problems with war, and that will not change. You can’t just expect two enemies to sit around a table and discuss their feelings rationally and come up with a compromise. That is unrealistic. This is when war is necessary. Although it is messy, confusing, and detrimental to society, it is the only solution to the problems that our world faces.
