**__<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">My Stance: __** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 15pt;">I would like to think that I am completely against war. I hate the thought of sending our young men and women out to war. However, I’m undecided on the issue. On one hand you have peace and harmony, and on the other you have protection and liberty. War is a horrible thing. In the end war is just a storm to be killed in. However, I also remember Pearl Harbor. In World War II, we tried so hard to stay out. Because we refused to fight, we lost many lives on our own land. If we go to war we will lose lives inevitably. If we don’t go to war, we run that risk of attack on our own land and losing innocent lives still. Which is worse?
 * Being peaceful is not going to make the problem go away.
 * Being peaceful isn’t going to stop the enemies from destroying everything we believe in as a nation. ||
