War: Why does it exist

Prompt: Way are We at War?

After reading the mailer I got to understand a lot of different aspects of war. But tell why does it exists? Mailer feels as if it comes because of terrorism. Yeah, that's true but why really is it going on. Why do other countries have that much hatred of another country to kill. Mailer suggest that we should look toward our selves for the answer.

I really don't keep up with the war and means of terrorism so my opinion really would be different from many. Maybe we have terrorism for many reasons. other countries are jealous, mad, and just don't' like the way we handle things. Maybe they are just trying to get back at something that happened in the past.

One thing I do know is the feeling an attack of terrorism have on one. When Mailer described how everyone was acting in the day of September 11, I cried in remembrance of the events. i can remember that day like it was yesterday. I was getting off of work and decided to look at television instead of going to sleep. When I turned the channel, I was shocked to be watching a plane go into the towers. Hearing about all the lost lives especially the kids, made me realize how life was important and how family was more than a six letter word. Even though I didn't know any of the victims it made me very sad.

This act of hatred had a big impact on why war exists.

the reason for many wars is terrorism. they retaliate and don't think. The only thing that makes it worst is because each country still have hatred for each other. So why fight when it doesn't change anything?

Pass. I myself really don't pay close attention to what's going on with the war.
