No one can compensate the parents who lost their children to after-effects of an atomic explosion.

This war and several others that followed opened doors for more military conflicts and greater destruction of the so-called enemy. Who is our enemy? If people of the other countries are our enemies, why are we ever taught not to discriminate? For surely when the war begins, we have to give up all that we were previously taught and stand united to destroy the weaker enemy completely. The world as it stands today may have underpinnings of a Third World War at any point of time in the future. So, it is fairly correct to state that all wars are wrong. Why some countries or nations feel proud of the wars they fought and do not believe all wars are wrong are basically shortsighted, selfish and narrow minded. They probably see the world as it exists today and have forgotten or do not know how the present day countries and nations emerged, how much their older generations suffered and how much economic, political and social power they lost. Germany provides a good example.

The country suffered immensely when its land and resources were divided and two relatively smaller countries called East and West Germany were carved out under two totally opposite economic and political systems and its people were separated between the borders of two independent countries after the Second World War. Millions of citizens lost their relatives and friends in this ugly division of boundaries.
Did anyone think about their pain and suffering? No. Because we considered them the enemy and they were meant to suffer. We probably never even thought of them as humans. This is why wars are morally wrong. They do not foster friendship love and peace; instead they lead to destructive, death and break the human bond.

Therefore those who may claim that all wars are not bad are not worthy of calling themselves human beings. They are cowards who feel that all conflicts in the world need to be resolved with the help of military power. What was the fault of Afghanistan and Iraq for example? Just that they were weaker countries and could be subdued with military attacks.

Some cowards decided it was better to bomb these countries down instead of staring a diplomatic dialogue. As the result of this what did we get? Two shattered, torn and destroyed poor nations who are desperately looking in all direction for some relief. Therefore all wars are morally wrong.
