Are any wars justified?

localtalk_brendaBI think the only wars that are justified are wars that are actually done to save lives. Under a violent genocidal government such as Sudan I believe a war to save the people, if genocide is occuring, would be justified. Wars over resources, material goods and wars to spread so-called Democracy are not justified.

localtalk_stevenGWar is to be avoided if at all possible but is sometimes justified and necessary. World War II was necessary and a moral imperative, in my opinion.

localtalk_ericRI suppose there's the possibility that some wars are justifiable, but the burden of proof is far beyond anything that's happened in recent history.

localtalk_MichaelSTo start a war probably is not justified, but after somebody declares war on you I would think war is justified to protect yourself and your interests.
