War is it good: It helps stimulate the economy. Makes use of ALL the equipment the tax payers PAID for. Also, brings nations togeather in a sense of national pride and unity. It brings down evil tyrants(.....rarely however....)

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO........What's your take on war?

The poll asks whether war is good or bad, yet the answers are Yes, No etc. Might want to fix that?
As for what I think of it, war is a tragic waste of life, but sadly it's completely unavoidable.
Edit: You've fixed the poll, I can rest easy now.

Sure, it provides technological advancement and consumes resources to stimulate an economy. It also kills thousands of people. "Population control" no doubt. Did I forget to mention the damage to the environment it can cause? The suffering to civilians? The sheer, bloody-minded waste?

National pride is as useful as a stick up the jacksie when it causes you to go to war. As human beings we need to get beyond this and find common ground so that we can all advance.

Its neccesary, but anyone who actually likes the prospect of war is an idiot. Or a phsyco. Or both.

War is a brilliant thing, it can rejuvenate an economy, bring in new technology and generally help the world in the long run. Of course most people are short sighted and only see the short terms effects of loss of life. This is why Nukes and peace are a bad thing they are stopping the development of technology, if you want robots then we need a WW3.

Sorry your seriously saying that war is good as it can bond a nation and stimulate the economy.... *vomits over keyboard after realizing he is alone and this is why the world is like it is* The only time war is correct is to intervene to stop more killing or persecution.....eugh my day is full of badly spelled bile now

Actually, as this current war proves, it does NONE of those things.

This poll is kind of unanswerable.

Also I hate all war, and am a pacifist. :D

Yet, I will always remember with sorrow and honour those lost in war, service men and women, and civilians.

Lest we forget.

Was is good for humanity and bad for people.

Which do you value more?

EDIT: In moderation of course, peace is also needed to rebuild, repopulate, and take advantage of new skills and technologies.
