Is war a necessary evil?
I think that sometimes to stop an evil person or entity, war is required. I also think that countries have the right and duty to defend themselves against unprovoked aggression. I will use the overused World War II example. Adolf Hitler was an evil man with almost complete power over a powerful nation. During the thirties, various other countries tried to appease him and by giving into his demands and ignoring the atrocities that were already begining to be commited with the idea that if they did so, it would avert war because he would get what he wanted and be satisfied. Instead it gave him the opportunity to build an even greater war machine through that to cause millions of extra deaths than he and his Nazi Party would have been able to engineer if other countries had stood up to them sooner. And if Britain (and later other countries) had not stood up to the Nazis and said you won’t take our country, there would have been millions more deaths and more suffering. The same can be said
