Mankind Put an End to War

Mankind Put an End to War

'Mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind' --- John Fitzgerald Kennedy

          Mr President 

I'd like to ask a few questions, and answer them.  

Let me know please, if I am on the 'right track'. 

Question 1:

What is war?

Answer: 

War is a conflict situation, where nations or opposing parties carry on a 'force of arms', to resolve a bitter situation. 

Q2:

Can a 'situation' be resolved without war?

A2:

Absolutely, the opposing nations need to think about the consequences to their own people and truelly and willingly resolve the conflict by discussion. 

Q3:

Why are our leaders 'justifying' a right to go to war still?

A3:

I have included a paragraph from the book 'War is a Racket', written by General Smedley Butler, 

'War is a racket.  It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious.  It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives'. 

Q4:

Is it time that we put an to 'war' and resolve a 'conflict' by discussion.

A4:

Yes, it is time our leaders used this strategy. 

Sincerely, 

Ben
