The Lesser of Two Evils

War is never right because killing one another is always morally wrong. In a perfect world, all countries would be a part of the United Nations and would sign a pact against any wars. Unfortunately, there are people out there - terrorists, dictators, army generals - the aim to kill, rule, and destroy by any means, including violence. All issues between countries could be solved in civil, fair manners, but it is the stubbornness and pugnacity of others that prevent us all from achieving peace. Yes, fighting fire with fire only creates more fire, but sometimes it's the only resource you have. If a country is attacked directly, trying to solve the problems verbally may put more innocent lives at risk; so sadly, war may be the only weapon we have against those who threaten peace. This is why it is the lesser of two evils; but it should always, in every situation, be the last resort.
