Life for Dummies

In the ongoing tradition "XYZ for Dummies" books, here is a very short read for all those who claim to be anti-war without really understanding why war (unfortunately) exists in the first place.

taken from American Thinker:

1. There will always be bad people.
2. Bad people don't care about hurting good people. Appeals to shame, empathy and guilt don't work on them. That's why they're bad people.
3. Bad people respond to force. They don't like it and will change their behavior to avoid it.
4. Good people need to use force to stop the bad people from hurting other good people.
5. It's not the same when a good person uses force to stop a bad person as when the bad person uses it to harm a good person.
6. Not letting good people use force against bad people encourages more bad behavior.
7. Good people using force against bad people should be encouraged. This will make the world a better place.
