When I was younger, I was against war and for supporting refugees, the poor, the starving, etc. As I grew older I realised it wasn't as clear cut as I had previously thought and my views began to change. Now I am even older and have grown very cynical. I still do not want wars, but I am very against the waste of money in fighting them and the subsequent waste of money to support the survivors of our folly. That money could be better used to support our pensioners, I'll soon be one, our own poor and starving. Our charities attempt to raise funds for needy causes when our government should be supplying these funds.
