War Is Never A Solution

With the events in France over the weekend there is a lot of talk about war, which although I understand I can not support. Groups like Islamic State, are pure evil, of that there is no doubt, but war is never the answer as all it will achieve is the death of thousands or possibly millions of innocent people. The media are not helping things at all, they are giving far to much coverage to Islamic State, which is exactly what they want. The more hype and attention the higher the emotion on both sides and the more intense and destructive things could get. We have to solve this issue the diplomatic way, not with bombs or guns, but with words. Killing is never an answer, but sadly it is what humans do.

I think you're right about all the publicity not helping.Give us the basic facts then shut up about it and not give ISIS the satisfaction of all the publicity.

I hope war will lead to more victims. I think it is better to help to rebuild the refugees' home in their land. As it may be hard for them to accept to live in a new culture environment and meanwhile other local people may not accept to them easily. If they can have a safe home, they will not become to be the refugees and the conflicts will become less. And IS will be hard to recruit new members.

You're right. The media can generate too much attention and that feeds the evilness. War isn't the answer but it will continue. Hopefully more people will love and that will lessen the wars.
