There is no such thing as a just war

I strongly believe that there  is no such thing as a just war. I beive this because in life we are taught to never use violence as a way to solve problems, so why when a politician says we are going to war is it excepted? Now adays most wars are caused over oil eg. The war between Sudan and south Sudan and the war between the USA and Iran. these wars are infact stupid because innocent people are dying  over nothing. Do you thinkit is right that people die for nothing? so why do people try and justify war? Justify the killings of parents, children, brothers and sisters.

Another reason is that murder is murder so how can someone give a reason for killing thousands of people whoever they are. “Although there is not agreement estimates of civilian casualties : range from 500,000 in Iraq and 1 million in Vietnam and Korea, 7 million in WWI and between 35-50 million in WWII. It’s estimated that there may have been close to 20 million Chinese civilian casualties at the hands of the Japanese alone in WWII. The numbers can be confusing, because some estimates include only those people killed by direct violence, whereas many died as a result of infrastructure destruction.  The fact that we so accurately count the numbers of military personnel killed in the wars, but don’t bother with an estimation of civilian casualties, may reflect an uncaring or blind attitude about civilian suffering.”(PsychologyToday.com) So all of these people have been killed as a result of war. How can any one possibly justify this.

The definition of just is, based on or behaving according to what is morally right and fair. People say we have to have war to keep evils out of this world but instead of trying to do it wirty words we try and use force which ends up with thousands oof people dying for one person. in which way is this morally right? Why do we get choose who dies and who lives? fair, what is fair many people say we have to go to war to make everything fair, but how are we making things fair by killing this just causes more hate around he world.  For example when a western country bombs a terroist group they can ten use this to recruit others by saying they bomb our families.When the great war began everyone woud say this is the war to end all wars, obviosly we know this is not true so why to we still start wars becasue we use the excuse that it is just. 

An example of an unjustifiable war is the Iraqi war between the Usa and Britain against Iraq. It started because the president of the the United States Mr Bush and Mr Blair wrongly accused Iraq to be harbourin weapons of mass description many people died. ‘Scientific surveys of Iraqi deaths resulting from the first four years of the Iraq War found that between 151,000 to over one million Iraqis died as a result of conflict during this time. A later study, published in 2011, found that approximately 500,000 Iraqis had died as a result of the conflict since the invasion. Counts of deaths reported in newspapers collated by projects like the Iraq Body Count project found 174,000 Iraqis reported killed between 2003 and 2013, with between 112,000-123,000 of those killed being civilian noncombatants.’ (Wikipedia) 

If you think about WW2 America used a nuclear weapon on Japan this still affects people today. Here are the facts  .’In August 1945, during the final stage of the Second World War, the United States dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The two bombings, which killed at least 129,000 people, remain the only use of nuclear weapons for warfare in history.’ All of these people died because of government who supported Adolf Hitler.’ (Wikipedia). 

‘the risk lasts a lifetime. Unborn children exposed to radiation on average grow to be smaller and less intelligent than their peers, and their risk of developing leukemia peaked 

after ten years (Yong& Edwards, 2005). Many of the women that were pregnant at the time of the bombing gave birth to children with congenital malformations that were attributed to the radiation (Ohara, 2005).’ This shows that the bombings did not just affect the people alive at the time but still affect people now. How can this possibly be justified if people who are alive decades  after the war are still being affected.

In conclusion I believe you can try and justify war as much as you want but when you aloof at the figures you can see the disaster war causes . Now before I end let me ask you this question. Do you want to be the person who has to excuse the ruthless murders of inncocent mothers, father and children?
