Obama/McCain supporters. Read.

9/11 attacks could have been prevented a long time ago if the us hadn't PROVIDED those countries with those weapons during the cold war.

well seeing as how that was the ww2, not listening to hitler would have been a start in stopping it. also, if the "major powers" in the world such as the us and japan weren't so imperialistic and stubborn no one would have been like "OH WELL, THEY BOMBED US SO LETS BOMB THEM BACK" (obviously this isn't what happened but you get my point.)

again same mistakes.
we are killing innocent victims for the sole reason of power and control of a place of which we do not own.

if world peace is a global effort, then why is one of the most powerful countries in the world at war?

War is not two dimensional. In war, there aren't neccesarily a "winning" and "losing" side. The same goes for our reasons for being there. I said...

We didn't go over there just to kill the bad guys and leave. We went over there to help the people and I won't lie, another reason was maybe for a little revenge or something to that extent. We are helping these people and in turn, contributing to your idea of "world peace".

There are many factors that contribute to the beginning and end of war.

Two questions:
One:
How could we have prevented the war in the first place? We didn't start the war; Japan sneak attacked us and killed thousands of our soldiers.

Two:
How are we making the same mistakes? We can't prevent unannounced terroristic acts. We couldn't have prevented Pearl Harbor just like we couldn't have prevented 9/11.
Correction: We could have prevented 9/11 if, back in 1993 when the Trade Towers were originally bombed, we had taken out the terrorists then. But instead, Clinton didn't do anything about it. How effective is talking and comprimising with radicals who are bred to believe that any and all western civilization is evil?
Talk is cheap. Actions speak louder than words. Both relavent quotes.

obviously just having more wars is not doing anything.
what are we really achieving? it doesn't matter how many people you kill who are bad, there are still more out there.

i think th un needs to take more action towards world peace. and i know this is obviously a long term goal, but i don't think fighting and violence is a permanent solution. or a solution at all really.

i guess i have to agree with you there.
but there are still ways the war could have been prevented in the first place.

but we're supposed to leanr from out mistakes, not make the same ones?
