Cases of conflict do exist for other reasons besides the Napoleonic crusades of conquering for the sake of dominating more people or land. Just wars are possible especially when fighting in defense for one’s belief. However, this reasoning does depend on what lens you look through or what side your talking about. <br /><br />Take the American War on Terrorism. In the eyes of many Americans, they see a crazed group of Islamist extremists committing violent acts of public destruction on our soil. Therefore the war is a retaliating response. In the eyes of the Islamist groups, they are protecting an ideology and attacking what they view as a threat to their culture and nations in the only form that they can inflict damage in, which are through acts of terrorism. They too are protecting themselves and their beliefs. <br /><br />Although certain Islamist groups would like to see America fall, neither group is searching for dominance over the others land or power within that region (well maybe America is…). Surely this isn’t violence for the sake of violence when observing each side in isolation.Peter Newmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15934655538733095619noreply@blogger.com
