Is war good?

            Is war a good thing?  Many people ask this question.  Some people agree with war and some people completely disagree with war.  I believe that war is a good thing       if it has the right meaning behind it.
            War is a good thing in many ways.   War has solved many problems including slavery, Fascism, Nazism, communism and terrorism.  War has solved problems that negotiators could not do if they talked their enemies to death.  Sometimes war is the only way to win.
            God used war in the Bible to punish nations in the Bible.  For example when Jerusalem was surrounded by the Babylonians and King Nebuchadnezzar in Jeremiah 52.  God punished the Israelites because of their sin through war.  The book of Lamentations shows the effects war has on the Israelites. 
            They are bad effects on war too.   Unfortunately man good people have to die  for the sake of their cause.  Sometimes their cause is a good one and sometimes it      is the bad one.  In the end there is always a winner and a loser.  The loser is broken and in pieces, they have to build their selves up over time and through the generations gain more people.  The winner might still have a loss of people, but they have to stay strong in order to not be overthrown by their enemies.
