Well, I think that we should recognize that not all wars are fought because one side wants something from the other or because their beliefs are different. For instance, when the U.S. invaded Afganistan, we invaded because we were attacked. So we went after the terrorists that attacked us. The Taliban supported them, so we went to war with them. In a situation like that, we are fighting the government of the country. The Taliban. We obviously didn't want to kill innocent people who did not support the Taliban. We wanted to eventually become allies with them. Like we are now. So, treating people with respect is very important with conflicts like this. Any civil war would also apply.
I think we should treat people as people. War is horrible. And it hurts so many people. War should have rules, not because we expect the other side to follow them, but to keep ourselves from going too far.
