Violence
I would have to agree with Johnson that I do not support violence. I believe that there are other ways to deal with a situation. On the other hand I have never been put in a situation like the Allmuseri. I sympathised with the Allmuseri because they were so desperate and after being stolen from their homes and treated like animals they were out of any other options. I can't say that if I had to watch my friends and family suffer, and be tortured that Iwouldn't have done the same thing that the Allmuseri people had done. That being said, by killing the crew the Allmuseri were in a way behaving just as badly as they had been treated. While I would say that violence should be a last resort I think in some cases it is both necessary and justifiable. The current war in Iraq has undoubtedly reached a point of total chaos but I think that many would argue that it was necessary for the war to occur. After being attacked on our own land I think that many people found it justifiable for the United States to defend itself. If there is no way to find some sort of necessity for ebing engaged in this current war then Is uppose you would also have to say that thousands of U.S. soldiers have given their lives for nothing, and that is not somethign I agree with.
