The Cost Of War

For millions of years different civilization's or nations has or have wagged war against each other. Some have wagged war over political or religious differences, while others for pure domination of their region or place in the world. The great superpowers such as the United Sates of America or the well armed ,often flex their political muscle as a way of influencing other nations policies. Many of them have been known to lunch unprovoked  military attack on countries, as way of changing that particular nations political landscape or  way of life . History show that this approach doesn't work and the cost of doing so only creates more enemy's. Not only does it cost lives, but it also cost millions of dollars and the fact is America can't afford another costly, war that isn't paid for. The cost of war not only cost many innocent people lives, but it also hurts the credibility of a great nation. Its this editors opinion that our leaders shouldn't be allowed to authorize war unless its people agree with them. Whats the real cost of war? Lost lives, damage property, millions or trillions of dollars and loss of credibility. What America needs is real leadership! Please, consult our allies, get the Congress, the Senate and the American people, on board, before we get involved in another costly war.
