Q129: How come God lets Wars happen and good people die?’

Well, sadly, good people do die. They are sent to the war by our governments – some for good and proper reasons and some for ’not-so-good-or-proper reasons’. Politics get in the way and money does too. Politicians, good and bad, choose to go to war and use men to fight it for them.

It is all too complicated to explain here. Try the WWW for information on The Great War (WWI), WWII, Korean War, Vietnam War and Afghanistan.

Politics, money and helping other countries are all mixed up. Thousands of books have been written and are still being written by the victims, and the perpetrators of war. Big businesses who make armaments for wars are the only ones who like wars. I read in the paper in 1990 that Britain had finally finished paying off the debt of World War I (or ’The Great War’) from 1914 to 1918. Wars cost money, and men die.

Some Vietnam War veterans go back to Vietnam to make friends with their former enemies (the Vietnamese people) and try to help them because it was a very bad and unfair war.

Some of us humans can be fools sometimes.
