Inner thoughts

As I read this book, I think to myself; what is the whole point of war? Yes, in a perfect world all our problems would be fixed by sitting down and talking like sane people. But when you are faced with a certain group of people who kill others based on their religion and belief, you now have a much larger issue. There is no reasoning to this, nor will there ever be because if someone believes so strongly in an idea that they will murder and pillage, you cannot explain why they are in the wrong. Xavier tells himself he kills others for survival. That's what war is, not many people want to risk their lives it these types of situations by choice. We normally do not enjoy killing and try justify ourselves when we are required to. In my opinion there are many other ways to solve conflict than with violence. Sure, I can say we don't need to fight, let's just talk! But this is one opinion, one belief against 7.3 billion others. Yes, one voice can change but not on an issue to this extreme.
