Andrewzomai	Your premise is flawed. The answer to your question is "false," but it's constructed in such a way as to prevent any other answer. Your line is telling: "Of course, the only time that would realistically ever happen is if some other country is already waging war against your country!" Newsflash to the liberals in this country - Islamic fascists have been waging war against this country - and the whole of the Western world - for the past 30 years. True, war is not always justified: Hitler had no right to invade the Sudetenland. But 3,000 innocent lives incinerated in one day on the East Coast, in most logical frames of reference, consitutes a declaration of war against our country. The Bush administration is pursuing war against Isalmic totalitarians that prop up terrorist ideologies in the Middle East, and why not - we're the most powerful nation on earth, and what greatre good could we do than to eradicate terrorism in the world? Liberals think if only we get the terrorists enough money and land they'll leave us alone. Wrong - terrorists want us DEAD, and they will stop at nothing - literally nothing - until we are all - all of us - stone cold dead. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

holdemfoldem911	War is never OK! War is sometimes necessary, but never OK. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Sherry M	When dealing with a large group of people there is never a B&W answer because the will never be 2 people that 100% agree. That being said there will always be wars and rumors of war, some times you just don't have the luxury of a choice. Coming from a place that was the sight of some of the worst atrocities of WW2 I can tell you that turning the other cheek some times gets you slapped again. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

din//	Going to war is not alwas the best solution to problems. Diplomacies have to be taken into consideration first. But to war mongers/those who are thirsty for blood of it is right to go to war at any time. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ElsaBlue	False... Wars are not necessarily the best way, it appears to me that Leaders decide on the war and everyone else fights it in most cases. It would seem that in this day in age, we could resolve an issue differently. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Mary W	No. War is only OK if it's a just war. It's not what society chooses, but what contributes to the good of society that counts. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Proud Army Wife	It's not always ok! You got troops out there risking their lives because President Bush and Bin Laden & Saddam didn't like each other. We're in war right now because our stupid president doesn't know how to keep his nose in he's own business!!! I WILL SAY THAT I DO SUPPORT OUR TROOPS AND WANT THEM TO COME HOME REAL SOON!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

pentalityism	Just because you convince them that the way is tbe best option, doesnt make it "OK"... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Corbett	You're advancing a false dichotomy. Whether it's "OK" to go to war is neither always true, nor always false. Like most things in life, the only accurate answer is "it depends". Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Coo coo achoo	War is always the LAST option. If diplomacy doesn't work or those 'wonderful' U.N. resolutions snicker then I guess you do have to try to garner support for the decision to go to war. I would have to say false if the other avenues have not been explored. Have a great day!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

tina m	It is not always ok to send other peoples children to die. FALSE! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

eli r	false it is always bad to go to war unless they start bomming you or somethin Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Larry	Other than your use of the word "always" I would have to say yes. I believe that is one of the results of the function of democracy. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

she luvs u	There was no deception in the wars between Scotland and England in the 13th and 14th centuries..England wanted Scotland and Scotland wanted to stay independent.and the answer to your question which was a good one,is yes when the reason is to protect your homeland where the possibility is apparent that the other nation in question has the capability to occupy your homeland.Unfortunately the wars today are not that cut and dry.. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ya-sai	Sure. Last night I sneezed. LET'S GO TO WAR! says the politician and the masses said YES AND BLESS YOU! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

lundstroms2004	false. but your statement is also not a good enough reason to go to war. simply put, you go to war for treasure, revenge, or to kill someone before they can muster the force to kill you. Does not matter if a majority or a minority makes the decision. The USA has never gone to war for treasure alone, although we did early on enjoy the concessions of war. We have gone to war for revenge, like when Stephen Decatur led the marines into Tripoli against the Barbary Pirates. The American revolution was supported and fought by only 1/3 the population. Yet they went to war and won. Cromwell went to war with 1/5 the ruling class behind him, yet won...only to loose the peace. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

006	So if you convinced 50.01% of people that going to war was OK and 49.99% of the people vehemently opposed it, even if you somehow avoided using any deception in your arguments, that would make it OK to go to war? I must disagree. False. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Bobby C	War is never ok...necessary yes...unavoidable, sometimes...but never ok. Truth from our "democratic representatives"? That is an oxymoron, my friend, much like "military intelligence". Remember, this country was founded on truth, equality and RELIGIOUS FREEDOM (ie, the right to express oneself and religious beliefs and convictions) but because we have allowed the judicial branch to rule the country, we have a bunch of lawyers running the show, liars who can "convience and be convienced" that war is a viable option and should be undertaken. War is a last resort, used when there is no other choice. Good question, though and it will spark debate, productive I hope. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Political G	War is the first option of ignorant people. There is ALWAYS a better way if you have only the imagination to think of it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
