It was thought that alcohol was destroying families and the fabric of American society. It was thought that denying people alcohol would stop them from craving it and lessen crime. Funny how that turned out.

Why do Williams and Caldwell argue it is necessary to develop post-war justice jus post bellum principles?

Williams and Caldwell argue that developing post-war justice principles, or jus post bellum, is essential to ensure accountability and promote reconciliation in the aftermath of conflict. They believe that clear guidelines can help address injustices, support the rebuilding of societies, and prevent future violence. By establishing a framework for justice, they aim to create a foundation for sustainable peace and stability in post-conflict environments. Ultimately, these principles are crucial for addressing the moral and legal responsibilities of states and actors involved in warfare.


Why do some people still think the Vietnam War was a big mistake while others feel the war was justified?

No matter what the subject; people will always disagree. Even the good war...WWII, in which everyone supposedly agreed was a clear cause had people that disagreed with the war. If someone can disagree about fighting in WWII...then anyone can disagree with anyone about anything...just for the sake of argument. It's in people's nature to debate/argue/disagree/question.

What happened after prohibition was enforced?

The demand for alcohol was met by black marketeers and the prohibition of alcohol empowered criminals, further empowered a federal government and gave rise to lawlessness. As an Amendment listed in the Bill of Rights the prohibition of alcohol is a strange right to be enumerated. I would not argue that we don't have the right to not drink alcohol. I would argue that people do have the right to drink alcohol if they so choose. Prohibition of products or resources that have clear demand in a market place never work and the current laws in the United States prohibiting certain drugs gives evidence to the failures of prohibition. Unless of course, the intent behind prohibition is to empower the petty tyrants who wish to rule. Then prohibition can be a very effective tool in grabbing power.
