War (Is war ethical? What are the ethics in war?)

My name is Georg Hegel. As a young man, interested in the French Revolution. I was a supporter of the autoritarian state, and a hater of democratic measures. All historical events emegre from a conflict between opposing forces. These forces create a thesis which encourages the emergence of an opposing ideology. In order to solve a conflict, a compromise must be reached between the two forces. The forces that have created the conflicts normally have the same goal in mind. Therefore, this is the only reason and cause of the conflict. The greatest of all is the conflict of ideoliogies, since there is where opposing view points emerge. The goverment, I must say, allies with other forces in order to control and persuade the masses. Being in conflict between two or more groups, countries, is not ethical in any sense since it is utterly absurd to kill and destroy simply because of opposing ideologies. As a man who has had studies on theology, it is unethical for men to be in conflict.The primary feature of this behavior (war) pattern is a certain state of organized violent conflict that is engaged in between two or more separate social entities. Such a conflict is always an attempt at altering either the psychological hierarchy or the material hierarchy of domination or equality between two or more groups. The ethics invloved with war are the following: there must be a concise reason for the conflict involved, and most importantly, to be done in a non-violent manner.
