This war is not necessary. We are truly sleepwalking through history.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
War can be avoided, and it ought to be avoided. I want no war.
I feel like war should occur only for the most vital and necessary reasons, and only then.
War is no picnic. Wars should be prevented, and if you can't prevent them, you have to put them off.
Our modern states are preparing for war without even knowing the future enemy.
War, in our country, ought never to be resorted to but when it is clearly justifiable and necessary; so much so as not to require the aid of logic to convince our understanding nor the ardour of eloquence to inflame our passions. There are many reasons why this country should never resort to it but for causes the most urgent and necessary.
Moreover, war has become a thing potentially so terrible and destructive that it should have been the common aim of statesmen to put an end to it forever.
The history of our civilization has been one of intermittent war.
Waging an unnecessary war is a grave mistake.
We should not fight wars without a clearly defined end state... when you go to war, it can't be a half-step.
War is by no means something glamorous, and I don't think that should ever be forgotten.
