As a post-modernist I totally agree with war; the world society is an outdated lifestyle disguised under impersonal and faceless bureaucracies. Post-modernism supports building and using weapons of mass destruction. The truth is relative and truth is up to each individual to determine for himself. The belief about war being a bad thing and war as unethical only exists in the minds of religious people who have followed their cultures beliefs and by consequence have always thought that war is bad. All our deepest religious notions have been introduced in our minds through religious upbringing and conditioning. As post-modernist we usually are atheistic and do not believe what we don’t know for sure; we prefer to live with our own rules and under a global, non-political government and searching for the socioeconomic equality for all people. There isn’t such thing as absolute truth and there isn’t such thing as right and wrong, you do what you want to do without thinking that somebody will question your acts or decisions; there is no authority to define truth or impose ideas. War is acceptable, especially when there are systems that lack equal distribution of goods and salary. If war is done, that deconstruction will reach its natural conclusion, we are left with a grand void: there will be nothing but from that nothing we can provide meaning, with a sense of direction, with a range to distinguish good from evil and to create a new world. Twyla Tharp expressed: “There's this expression called postmodernism, which is kind of silly, and destroys a perfectly good word called modern, which now no longer means anything. “

I agree with the post-modernist point of view; war should be done to make just in this world. We should do what we feel like doing, the world is stucked in old beliefs. The belief about war being bad is just in religious minds that don't think outside the box.
