I support Defense. If that means war then i support war, if you can be safe and secure without needing to go to war then i support peace. It is all relative to what the needs are. A country needs to be strong enough to keep it safe, and not aggressive enough as to make enemies of potential friends.

but the needs are always more than neccessity and the needs can be manupulative according to ones benefit and hence wars can be more preferable options.

its about a cost-benefit analysis, leaders need to decide if the risks, being the reduction in popular opinion, reduction in reputation in the world, and the cost of lives lost in the war, and put those against the benefits, which are increased defense, the destruction of threats, protection of assets in the world, increased reputation with allies, increased standing in the world. If the benefits outweigh the costs, then it is probably the right thing to do. War will always be in this world, the only way to end war is for the entire world to be one people and one culture, which will never happen without mass war and genocide, which is not a good thing.

This is a difficult question to answer. Peace is good, but not at the expense of freedom. While we want this country to be at peace, we can't compromise our values and give away our sovereignty. If it requires war to uphold our country, than I am for war. But I never condone a war of aggression, or wars in other countries which are none of our business and don't constitute a real threat to this country.
