It is always better to be PACIFIST (nonviolent) than to invade a country, even if this means some people will suffer under oppressive governments.

There is such a thing as a JUST war: sometimes war is necessary because, even though it damages in the short term, it has lasting long term benefits.

Wars risk the future of the human race, therefore governments should not be given the right to control troops at all.

A rich, powerful and peaceful country should never INTERVENE in the conflicts of two or more less powerful and poorer nations.

War protesters are ungrateful and should support our soldiers who fight for their freedom.

Governments should be allowed to keep secrets and spy on others if it gives them an advantage in the war on terrorism.

Armed drones (unmanned flying vehicles) should never be used in warfare - programmed bombings or 'death by remote control' is, by nature, UNETHICAL
