War will always be part of human life

There is truly no way around war.  It will always be an event that occurs.  Mainly, because there will always be jealousy, opposing opinions and power hungry officials in office.  And although it has only been a direct cause a few times, religion will always be a prime contributor to international conflict.  ISIS, for example, hates America primarily for being a cultural that accepts many religions, not just one. ISIS is slaughtering people that oppose their ideas and those who are not of Sunni-Islamic faith.  Hitler, as another example, was extremely power hungry.  The European powers kept attempting to appease him, yet he always wanted MORE, which was a factor that lead to WWII.  Personally, I am not against war, nor am I pro-war.  In a sense, i am indifferent about it, for there is nothing we can do about.  Anti-war protests don't end wars, and neither do pro-war rallies start wars.  But I believe in a way that the old "eye for an eye" saying holds true.  It may not solve the problem, but it gives a sense of understanding to the person or country that started it.  You bombed our land an killed civilians? Fine, we'll do the same to you so you can understand how it feels.  War is just a part of human nature that we have to accept and be able to live with.
