All of this thinking brings to me having no opinion on the subject whatsoever. Apathy, I realize, can be detrimental to society but I feel that I care enough about other issues that my not giving a flying hoot on the affairs of war is justified. As if the President is really going to ask me my opinion before he sends troops and guns on the attack.

I don't know, do you know? i don't know
gahh. I'm exhausted even thinking about this question. There are so many different feelings I have about the subject. There are bad people in the world who do bad things, these people should probably be stopped. There are good people in the world who take it upon themselves to stop these bad people, and in the event of doing so can sometimes do bad things themselves. But do the good people's good things outweigh their potential bad things? I know very little about the effects of war, other than death and trauma so I can not confidently say whether I believe war is justified because I do not know enough about previous wars of the world and how they affected the people involved. And morals? What the hell are morals? To me they appear to be volatile opinions of a specific generation or pervading group. I prefer to think in terms of common humanity. At which point I revert back to my ends justifying the means question.
