Wars
Throughout History
Since the beginnings of Man, war has played a
critical role in his development. Without wars our history would
be quite different. Imagine no Roman Empire, no race to colonize
North and South America, and certainly no United States. Wars are
a part of human nature, and it is quite naive to think that we could exist
without them. Many believe that is untrue, but I believe George Orwell
put it best in his novel "Nineteen Eighty-Four" when he said:
"War
is Peace
Ignorance
is Strength
Freedom
is Slavery"
A War itself may be bloody and costly, granted,
but the concept of war is still a great one. Simple logic dictates
that a concept cannot exist without another to contradict it. If
that's the case, the to have peace, there must still be war. So if
one day there is peace throughout the world, the concept of war will still
have to exist, or chaos will spread like wildfire. After all, if
there was no war, then that would mean that their would be only one idea,
one ideology, and one goal for the human race. We as a race have
never been able to live like that, we can't now, and I doubt we ever will
be able to live like that. Human beings are all different and unique,
and when two unique ideas clash, that leads to conflict. When conflict
is so great, it leads to war.

You don't have to sign my guestbook, but you can
always just sign it to humour me. And yes, Canadians spell humour
with a "U". You will find that many Canadian words have a "U" in
them whereas American words do not. It's just another prime example
of the lazyness of Americans.
