English Component
In the book "A Long Way Gone" by Ishmael Beah, he doesn't detail cannons as a weapon he used that much. He mainly used AK-47's, grenades and knives. However, those guns and cannons I believe would have had the same effect on him. Guns and war tore him apart from his family, and I think cannons would have done the same thing, if not worse. Guns made him mentally unstable, forcing him to rely on arms to keep him alive at the ages 12 to 15. No teenager should have to go through that sort of thing just to stay alive, including taking another human life or taking drugs.

I really like the reasoning that you use to explain your case.
ReplyDeleteDo you think that the widespread violence with these simple weapons can have the same effects of WMDs?

ReplyDeleteI think that it could have the same effect as WMDs, depending on the cannon you use, it could take less money than developing a hydrogen bomb, and could potentially be found in the hands of militias.
