Reasons to say no to war lies in the word WAR itself and its meaning.As War is an organised and often prolonged armed conflict that is carried out by states or non-state actors. It is characterized by extreme violence, social disruption, and economic destruction. War should be understood as an actual, intentional and widespread armed conflict between political communities, and therefore is defined as a form of political violence or intervention.The set of techniques used by a group to carry out war is known as warfare. And one can’t achieve peace by initiating or doing war. only the absence of war leads to peace.
10.Diplomatic solution SHOULD BE GIVEN A CHANCE to solve the crisis in Syria.
Over the past few days, there has been a tremendous wave of optimism that it may be possible for war with Syria to be averted.President Obama follows up on his speech to the nation and describes the possibility for a diplomatic solution in Syria, partially because of the credible threat of U.S. military force.Minimally, there has to be a cease-fire in Syria’s civil war. There can be no inspection regime until all parties involved in the fighting in Syria agree to stop fighting and to an intrusive cease-fire verification regime.its still debatable why Is diplomacy the harder solution in Syria than war.
9.Had already enough with the outrage over the use of weapons of mass destruction.
The atomic bomb, which redefined warfare, chemical weapons have been categorized as “weapons of mass destruction,” even if they do not have the killing power of nuclear weapons.World War I led to the 1925 Geneva Protocol, which banned the use, though not the possession, of chemical and biological weapons. In effect from 1928, the protocol is one of the few treaties that have been almost universally accepted and become an international norm.
8.The United States is the leading international supplier of armaments.
The United States is by far the world’s largest arms trader, accounting for around 30 per cent of conventional arms transfers in terms of value.The arms industry is a global business which manufactures weapons and military technology and equipment. The USA supplies arms to more than 170 countries. it has supplied arms to other countries, for example Sri Lanka, Bahrain, Egypt and Yemen, where there is a substantial risk that they could be used to commit of facilitate serious human rights violations.
7.Need to stop letting armament manufacturers dictate the foreign policies and life of all innocent humanity.
Of course the people don’t want war. But after all, it’s the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it’s always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it’s a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.
6.Economically a war with Syria will prolong the economic crisis in the world,
With higher oil-prices, less growth and more despair worldwide War has influenced economic history profoundly across time and space .war generally impedes economic development and undermines prosperity. Several specific economic effects of war recur across historical eras and locales and Inflation.
5.Historic use of weapons widely condemned by the global community and all international polls results conducted regarding this issue.
It makes absolutely no sense to use banned weapons to retaliate for the use of another banned weapon.Most of the world condemns cluster munition for its potential, like chemical weapons, to indiscriminately harm civilians. The bomb splits into dozens of dispersed explosives that, if they fail to explode, turn effectively into land mines long after the attack.
4.Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war.War can be devastating,
And it can go on for years to come. And sometimes, no good even comes out of it. Many people oppose war, but don’t know how to take action to stop it.
3.Recent history of U.S. warfare shows a trail of weapons leaving long-lasting civilian harm.
Will most certainly create huge outflows of refugees. . At the end of 2012 the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) reported that there were 15.4 million refugees worldwide. In 2012 Afghanistan was the biggest source country of refugees (a position it has held for 32 years) with one out of every four refugees being an Afghan and with 95% living in Pakistan or Iran. food, medicine, and other aid to refugees and other civilian victims of the war is burden on country itself.
2.Its illegal and against basic human rights.
The deadliest war in history, in terms of the cumulative number of deaths since its start, is the Second World War, with 60–85 million deaths.
1.War should never be a priority at all ,as solution of problem.
In fact ,its itself is the biggest problem of all times. for example after world war 2 the combined damage consisted of complete or partial destruction of 1,710 cities and towns, 70,000 villages/hamlets, 2,508 church buildings, 31,850 industrial establishments, 40,000 mi (64,374 km) of railroad, 4100 railroad stations, 40,000 hospitals, 84,000 schools, and 43,000 public libraries.
