Why is there war?
Why do we want to go to other lands and fight?
Why do we want to kill foreign people?
Why can't we just be at peace?
Why can't we just get along?

Why is there war?
There is no need for it.
We fight over nothing
We fight for nothing

Why is there war?
One day with all these wars
We will have no allies
Everybody will be our enemy.

Why is there war?
I have no clue
Other than war is useless
And causes more problems
Than it was supossed to solve

We could, but they won't, so no one can.

America has Nuclear warheads and nerve gas storehouses.How would we react if the U.N. demanded that we give up our weapons of mass destruction.I'm thinking we would fight to keep them.Does that make us hypercrites to wage war on other people to disarm them?Insanity!!!!!
