Spending money on war... colossal waste of money, another reason for peace
May 10, 2007 - 11:09 AM

I have recently watched a video about war price and after I watched that video, I find that spending money on war is a colossal waste of money!!! Did you know that the price of 1 jetfighter can build lots of pharmacies. The price of a tank can build schools that can hold thousands of students.

For more info on this and see how war is ridiculous, go to:

www.luccaco.com/wewerehumans/

It is a interesting video.

Although I don't like war, it's sometimes necessary to defeat evil, such as Hitler in WWII.

As the saying goes, "If you want peace, get ready for war."

This is reality, unfortunately.

The same Sun Tzu has also said that ;

"War is not a thing to be trifled with"

Talking about the recent crisis, a full fledged attack or war could have been surely averted through diplomacy and other tactics.
So many innocent lives could have been spared.

We need to invest more money into Education, Poverty reduction and disease control, not WAR.

War is completely sign of human immaturity, just like beating my younger ones instead of directing them on what to do.wink untill maturity comes for us to see clearly the values of lives and care for itmad.

AND SINCE MONEY IS USELESS EXCEPT FOR THE PURPOSE IT SERVES: IF YOU THEN REFUSE TO SPEND THE MONEY AT YOUR DISPOSAL TO EQUIP AND FORTIFY YOURSELF AND AT THE SAME TIME BE A SHIELD TO THE WEAK AND THE HELPLESS AROUD YOU KNOWING THAT IT IS IN THE PEACE OF THE WORLD AROUND YOU THAT YOU WILL HAVE PEACE THEN IF YOU REFUSE TO SPEND THE MONEY FOR CARING S MUSH ABOUT THAT IS USELESS EXCEPT IT IS BEEN SPENT THEN AN UNDERDOG OPPOSITION WHO DOES NOT CARE ABOUT MONEY WILL COME AGAINST YOU ,DEFEAT YOU ,TAKE ALL THE MONEY YOU CARE ABOUT FROM YOU AND MAKE YOU A SLAVE.SO TO HAVE AND MAINTAIN PEACE YOU MUST BE READY TO SPEND AND BE SPENT ON WAR .[quote]
