An IYLI Fellow Perspective:

"Despite the emotional problems associated with war, there is also the economic aspect to think about.  Money that should be used to improve the country’s economy is wasted on weapons and other materials for wars that shouldn’t have started in the first place.  People are destitute of health care. Taxes are increased to fund wars that are morally wrong.  All this results in really bad living conditions for people who should be living well for all the work they do.    All wars create destitution and impoverishment.  They do not solve problems but multiply them!"
