Realistic views for unrealistic motives
             The reality of war is, by nature, hellish. There is much
             more to warring than the idea of "That man is bad, and he has
             nothing more than bad intentions for people that do not ad hear
             to his way." By meaning of "more to warring", I mean that there
             are more implications than an unjust leader. I can clearly
             think of a few reasons not to go to war: Iraq's sovereignty, the
             US's place in the world and our duties, the cost of war in both

             The wars that have already been fought only involved the
             neighboring countries Iran and Kuwait. Even though the US
             supports some of those neighboring countries, it is not our war.
             In being a sovereign nation, we have to respect the countries
