I believe that people are just way too trigger-happy. I mean shooting things has become a sport in the world and guns are sold everywhere. There are so many cases where violence was unnecessary or excessive in a situation where it wasn't needed. And I am not saying that war can be stopped or should be stopped but I just feel as if instead of rushing straight into violence, people should take the time to think of its repercussions. There are many cases in this world today of oppression, communism, etc. Some believe the U.S shouldn't get involved since it doesn't concern them while others believe that the U.S. ought to interfere because it is morally correct to intercept something that is wrong. War, though terrible, is a way to keep the balance in our world. And even though it is a very violent path to take, it is sometimes necessary. I do feel as if sometimes, people rush into violence without having reasoned first, but I also think that occasionally there is a time for war.
