Those wars are unjust which are undertaken without provocation. For only a war waged for revenge or defense can be just.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Some wars have been due to the lust of rulers for power and glory, or to revenge to wipe out the humiliation of a former defeat.
Wars based on principle are far more destructive... the attacker will not destroy that which he is after.
All government wars are unjust.
There are only two cases in which war is just: first, in order to resist the aggression of an enemy, and second, in order to help an ally who has been attacked.
Wars such as those which have occurred in Iraq only allow hatred, violence and terror to proliferate.
No two wars are ever the same. Some are just, some are unjust, but the basic commonality shared between them all is that young men and women heeded a call to service, overcame their fear, and fought for their side.
Wars are, of course, as a rule to be avoided; but they are far better than certain kinds of peace.
Indiscriminate attacks on civilians ought, under all circumstances, to be illegal in war as in peacetime.
An unjust peace is better than a just war.
Revenge only engenders violence, not clarity and true peace. I think liberation must come from within.
