I'm not talking about any specific wars. Just war in general.

What do you guys think about war? Is it justifiable?

Here's some quotes for and against war which should get your brains thinking. This is very much a morality question.

I'm fed up to the ears with old men dreaming up wars for young men to die in.
- George McGovern

If it's natural to kill, how come men have to go into training to learn how?
- Joan Baez

If we don't end war, war will end us.
- H. G. Wells

War is a severe doctor; but it sometimes heals grievances.
- Edward Counsel

Its right if your country is at risk or being attacked but wrong if its over oil or other natural resources.

What if your country is at risk of running out of natural resources or oil?

War is the way government legalises murder. Profit/gain is ALWAYS involved.

It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.

Then you should ask other countries if you can use some of their resources for something in exchange instead of just starting a war.

I agree, but for some countries, it's not that simple.

That's fair.

What about religious wars? Just or unjust?
