Umm usually if a leader of the country goes on the war wid sum other country, the public doesnt has any say in it bec it usually thinks dat its for the gud of the country. For example if today America attacks India.. WIll the Indian first vote for 10 days to choose whether they shud bomb back america or not? 😆 Its not exactly practical. And usually its not the asian countries who attack first. And if sum1 attacks us, v cant well decide not to attack dem.. 😉

In a democratic country people elect government and representatives. We assign them the power to make decisions for the country. It is practically impossible to take public voting before any major decision government has to make and what is the need anyways? They are our chosen representatives and they have the right to decide what is best for their country.

How about if the war is over something stupid? War is always supported by a lame reasoning.

If the cause of the war already died, and fighting for no reason? Is any cause of war genuine? Isn't war always bring destruction? So in the first place what was the cause of war?

Should the people e allowed to stop the war? [forgot this...editing post now😳] People elected leaders democratically so let the leaders make decisions but people surely have right and should ask other people who wage war on innocent people through illegal means bombing them and name it as war on freedom with stodgy excuses. People should surely voice their voice against such people and help government and not side with such fanatics.
