The Overlooked Immoral Aspects of War

To: Donald J. Trump, President of the United States

In the Twenty-first century alone, the United States has taken a leading role in the fight against terrorists. The country has taken military actions and propagated war on countries that are deemed to harbor terrorists. Additionally, the US government using its important aspects has steadily been lobbying its allies to join hands in the war against terror. Currently, the most active war zones are the Afghan war on ISIS, and the Syria war, both of which the United States as a country has a considerable contribution either directly or indirectly. This statement gives the position of the US government regarding the war, to this country war is a key tool in solving contemporary aggressions and terror attacks. So far, this solution approach has led to the death of tens of thousands of living, mainly the youth, women, and children. However, because war is still a viable solution to fighting terror, the death numbers means nothing (Thiroux, 2014, p. 165) .

The best approach to problem-solving is defined by the moral obligations it implants on both the stakeholders involved. As the commander in chief of this country, it is within your goodwill and righteous decree, to reevaluate the consequences of this war actions. Purposefully with the aim of designing an amicable peaceful strategy that will ensure minimal casualties if not zero. The goodness of this approach will be evaluated by the happiness it produced rather than the fulfillment of retaliations as has been the basis of war historically. As a superpower and a new administration, your government can pioneer a new peaceful approach to conflicts that demonstrate by living and infectious peace (Thiroux, 2014, p. 165) . This is the only reproach to mitigate lives lost in battles and attribute meaning to the lives lost. It will be an impeccable legacy be considered the for frontiers to peaceful conflict resolutions and ending war-related aggressions.
