F. Stone: “Too many throats have been cut in the name of God over the centuries, and God has enlisted himself in too many wars. War for sport or plunder was never as bad as war waged because one man's belief was theoretically 'irreconcilable' with another's” (Albright, 2010, p.35). People use their beliefs to start wars, and for centuries leaders have used religion as a weapon to start wars. America invaded Iraq and the government claimed that the purpose of the war was against weapons of mass destruction (WMD); however, Iraqis may believe that America fought Iraq over oil, as Iraq is a country with huge oil resources and America needed huge amounts of oil every year. From different aspects, people see problems in different ways. People living in America may believe that they are good people who are against Iraq and terrorism. However, people in Iraq may believe that America invaded the country for revenge and oil. There is no right or wrong answer to this question because people share different interpretations of the definition of integrity. “The first is that there are people willing to die and kill for their faith” (Albright, 2010, p.37). In the first story, Albright shows the reader that if a person has faith, they can give up everything to support their beliefs. It is amazing to have such a strong faith, dedicating your life to religion and beliefs. For
