Response to "Living With The Bomb"

I never really realized how close we actually could be to nuclear war. All of the countries that the author says has nuclear weapons are not countries that we can consider allies. They all have their own reasons for not liking America and the terrorist don't even seem to need a reason. That is why I agree with the author when he says that we need cooperation among nations in order to prevent nuclear war. We have already seen the capabilities of nuclear warfare with the bombings in Japan. There is no reason why that should have to happen again. I know that everyone wants to defend themselves so I'm not totally against having nuclear weapons. I just hope that is all they being used for.

Response to "Why We Fight"

I agree with the author with the fact that there are justifiable reasons to go to war. If we were to let the terrorist attack us on 9/11 and not have responded, that just would have opened the door for every other country that doesn't like America to come over and try their luck with an attack. I also agree that we shouldn't teach children that violence is bad all of the time. There are certain situations were violence can not be avoided, and they should be prepared to defend themselves if the situation calls for it.
