Liberty is defined as freedom from arbitrary or despotic government or control, and this my friends is a very delicate matter. War however is a horrible thing in life, being the cause of deaths of hundred if not thousands, but… it is not the worst aspect of life I can muster. As I found myself once saying “War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling, which thinks that nothing is worth war, is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.” War can only be morally accepted when it comes to a point when a man or society has to reclaim that which is rightfully theirs by force, liberty. A person, who thinks freedom is not worth fighting for, or defending their beautiful nation as my noble Great Britain, deserves nothing but death. We live in a time nowadays, in which the world is controlled by those who are of noble status, civilized and well educated, and parallel stand the barbarians of no education. It is safe to say that war… let us call it an intervention is justifiable when the oppressed are fighting for freedom against a state imposed by outsiders. This only applies to civilized people fighting for freedom, remember, the barbarians do not apply. A civilized nation must intervene when the latter applies, (Wink, wink U.S.A, I got your back) This I call "Intervention to enforce non-intervention" This is why a Humanitarian Intervention is basically society helping society maintain its key right, freedom. This and only this functions as a plausible clause for war.

War is no good nor bad. It is non existent. There is no term that will define the causes of war since nothing really exists. All the problematic things are just part of the imagination of people. Tey happen to live in everybody mind. Not even these people exist. The world is stuffed of complex ideals that you won't uunderstand if they come out from me. You still have thhe option to believe in your ideals.
