According to Thomas Paine, it is just and justifiable to go to war under two circumstances. One of them is when the sacrifice of a few men would save masses of human beings and made them happy. The evidence of this can be grasped by the phrase he uses: '... when a little might have saved the whole, and made them happy.'

The other situation that can justify a war is when troops invade a country and make it theirs. Paine beholds a country as a home, that's why he uses that metaphor to describe a piece of land. The evidence for this statement is when he says '... but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it... am I to suffer it?

On the other hand, he does not believe it is justifiable to go to war seeking wealth. He states: 'Not all the treasures of the world, so far as I believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war...'

What is the summary of the coyote and the buffalo by morning dove?
xenn [34]

Answer:

Coyote and the Buffalo is a Native American Legend that explains why there is no buffalo in Swah-netk'-qhu.

Explanation:

The story begins by telling how Coyote was to blame for the absence of buffalo in Swah-netk'-qhu country.

Coyote had always been afraid of Buffalo Bull, and while he was walking over the plains beyond the big mountains, he found the skull of his great enemy and decided to make fun of him. He threw it into the air, kicked it and spat on it, and it went on his way.

After that, Buffalo Bull came back to life and wanted to kill Coyote. But they reached an agreement, where Coyote would make him new horns so that Buffalo Bull could take revenge on Young Buffalo for killing him and keeping his herd, his former wives and their children.

Coyote makes magnificent horns for Buffalo Bull, who manages to kill Young Buffalo and recover what was his. He was so grateful that he decided to give Coyote a cow, with which he would be able to feed himself all his life, but he was forbidden to kill her.

He said <em>“When you get hungry, just slice off some choice fat with a flint knife. Then rub ashes on the wound and the cut will heal at once. ”</em>, But after a while Coyote got tired of always eating the same parts and killed the cow.

When he ran out of food he decided to see Buffalo Bull again to ask for a new cow, and when he arrived he was surprised to see the cow he killed was alive! But she refused to return with him, and Buffalo Bull did not want to give him another. That is the reason why Coyote's vanity, made him return without any buffalo home.
