No. War is barbaric.

Not in 50 words or less. Personally, I favor "Just Assassinations" as a tool of diplomacy.

I'm sure many who
go to war believe there is justice at stake. All I can say is at time
it is necessary to use force to stop the spread of violence and oppression.
I don't know if justice enters into it. The
current state of affairs is neither just or necessary.

No, because someone does something unjust to start the war.

This is a good question but I don't know how to answer it. I'll look forward to seeing what others say.

I'm not sure. Is there any such thing as justification of flying passenger planes into three buildings full of innocent people just trying to make a living and then sitting back and saying "gee what a shame, wish it hadn't happened?"

Yes. WWII was a just war because it saved the Jews from extermination. I think a war is just if it is waged to prevent people from being slaughtered, even though war is slaughter. You sometimes have to sacrifice lives to save others, and I admire our service people who do just that, willingly.

There's such a thing as a JUST war, I suppose, but not a GOOD war.

Yes,
however, all other options must be thoroughly exhausted before war is
too take place. In this case, Iraq, all other options were not explored...and
there is no doubt we are going to war.
Of course, we are going to win...that is not the issue...the issue is
what damage all those nutjobs
with biological weapons will do to us...there is reason everybody, save
England, is against us...but,
as I talked with somebody else here, Bush is boxed into a corner (of his
own doing)...so, prepare for war, ready or not...
