Even though 14 women, African Americans, and 1 ill stricken hostage were…

by this they mean that the only way to prevent war is to prepare for war. This has however brought instability and insecurity around the world. A good example would be plans by Iran launch its nuclear program and how this has caused instability among its neighbors. Israel which neighbors Iran fears that a nuclear capable Iran will spark an arms race since other states will do all they can to balance Iran’s power. Realism therefore helps explain what causes conflict and war among…
