War, What Is It Good For?

War! What is it good for? 

'War! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!' --- Edwin Starr

I'd like to ask a question and answer it, with a 'slight' sarcasm, to support the above quote.  

Question. 

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.   A situation which can be resolved through true and open discussion, without harming citizens.  

It is very sad that our leaders still resort to such violence as war to end disputes.  

Sincerely,

          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.
