Paragraph about Patriotism

I think that to be a good American and Patriot, one must be willing to give up his or her civil liberties in times of war. I think that in order to call oneself a true American, one must be willing to do anything for his or her country; one must be willing to sacrifice for his or her country in times of crisis. Desperate times call for desperate measures and true Americans always obey the law, no matter how rediculous it may seem. Americans should respect their country and its wishes.

Yesterday, Archduke Franz Fernindad was assassinated by a Serbian terrorist. He was shot by 19 year old Gavrillo Princip from Serbia. Austria-Hungary is looking to seek revenge on Serbia for murdering their future leader. They will take drastic measures to get back at Serbia. One can anticipate that if this dispute isn't solved soon, it will advance into a violent war, since modern technology is advancing as it is.
One can assume that Germany will help Austria-Hungary fight Serbia since they are alliances. Russia will help to defend Serbia against the Austria-Hungary/Germany attack. If different countries keep joining each side to fight against the other, then there is no telling when this will end. Eventually, every country in the world could be fighting against eachother. This relatively small dispute could potentially evolve into a World War.
