We're Still at War

The cost of one soldier for one year in Afghanistan would build 20 schools there.

Make love and not war

Wars main goal is destruction of peace yet it still exists. Trista Joy Lathern weapons used in war had killed millions of people and majority are civilians. Civilians are never permissible targets of war, and every effort must be taken to avoid killing civilians. The deaths of civilians are justified only if they are unavoidable victims of a deliberate attack on a military target. Still, getting one's life is never legal nor moral. Thus, we must make love and not war.
