War

War is something that most people seem familiar with, whether one has actually participated in it or has constantly seen it through the media. It is something that people have known most their lives and there have always been wars for as long as history has known it. I believe that during war there is no time to think about what's morally right and wrong. If some nation is attacking you, you better be ready to fight back. It is the ultimate action a country can take to get their point across. But whether any other country has a say in what they are doing, if it does not pertain that country, then stay out of their business.
The world has always been surrounded by injustice and threats. It's that as the more the world becomes globalized the more that everyone wants the world to think in the same principles. That is why I believe the places in the east such as Afghanistan or North Korea stand against the west. They don't understand why Americans are so intent in converting them to "modern standards" and see this change as hostile to the preservation of their beliefs and culture. In the past there are always tensions among those who have dissenting views and it's not uncommon to have them.
Whether there are alternatives is questionable. It depends on the situation and if one side is pushed to far it is probably not possible to solve the conflict in a peaceful manner. War is not always there but it always acts on the interests of their own. If we try putting ourselves in the shoes of the enemy then maybe it'd be easier to understand why they don't like us or why we are portrayed as bad guys. Maybe we are not as justified as we seem in our actions and I feel like in this case, America is overextending its power and trying to make order when it's just adding more gas to the fire.
