response to Saynab by Amelia

I agree with Saynab that war is a bad thing. Firstly because war cause many deaths in this world. Even though people might say that war doesnot target on the innocent people but still, the statistic shows that the ratio for innocent people to soldiers who died in the war is nine is to one. I cannot imagine that people are dead on the street and nobody cares for them because everyone is scared and try to protect themselves and their families. Secondly, war is very costly. As all of us know that U.S and Soviet Union spend billions of dollars to compete in making more atomic bombs. Besides the weapons and equipments of war, the buildings that are destroyed take a long time to be rebuild and money is wasted again. Thirdly, war causes pollution to the air. In Second World War, U.S bombed Japan with thwo atomic bombs and many people are dead from radiation. During that time, Japan must have wasted a lot of money to buy medical from another countries. Lastly, war doesnot solve a problem. For example, the Israel and Egypt war. Both countries had some misunderstanding and they declared war. In the end, they just realized that they have misunderstood each other. Others may claim that war prevent evil from happening, but evil cannot be prevented from happening. If people want to avoid evil, then they must avoid war because war is evil. At some point, I feel that war makes sense for the country to be more advance. But I refused to believe that it is just for human greed over other people’s properties. However, I think we should avoid war as much as possible and imagine that how great it will be if everyone lives peacefully and harmony.
