Preemptive War

I believe that war is not the answer, and that preemptive self-defense is a dangerous policy.

Unprovoked war is a tactic of an aggressor nation, even if you call it preemptive self-defense. It is a dangerous policy and it should not be a tactic of any country. The U.S. should be working to increase international cooperation, not to undermine it. Former President Jimmy Carter once said, "We will never learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children".

He also said, "War may sometimes be a necessary evil, but no matter how necessary, it is always an evil".
