Why do we go to war?

we're in it...so we have to win in...i believe that.

but...

with all the defending of the war in iraq, it seems like a good time to ask this question: why should we ever go to war?

i believe it is not to be used to feed starving people...not for freeing slaves...not for assisting in civil wars within other countries. i believe we can work to solve those problems in other ways...but not with war.

i believe war should be reserved for imminent threat to the US and/or our allies...that's it.
