Thoughts about war...

We had a heated discussion in both classes today over the "winners" and "losers" of war. Many of you took the philosophical view that in war there can be no winners. We also talked about that the winner often is decided by the reason the war was fought....

The American Revolution was fought for independence and clearly by the time it ended, America, our country was "free" from the English rule.

Many of you had some really good points today about this topic and I'd like to really congratulate each of you for participating in an excellent discussion. You listened to each other and responded to each other with thoughtful and intelligent ideas.

I hope we can have some more of this in the classes to come.
