War of the Buttons?

RichieC · 31-01-2012 02:23AM

Ww2. I guess..

Chuck Stone · 31-01-2012 02:23AM

The War of the Worlds.

Legally yes, morally? It gets very murky.

Sorry examples...

Eh **** it ask Aquinas...

No wait, morally you can, but that's relativistic **** and subjective, you could say moral superiority. Legally yes, sovereign states have rights to protect themselves, and are probably morally obliged to do so.

NO......

Overheal · 31-01-2012 02:34AM

Nope. No matter what way you swing it there's always some side of a war that you morally disagree with. WWII? You might agree with the Allies, but the Axis started the thing, and they did some pretty reprehensible things, like wipe out 6 million people in droves. Thats before you even begin discussing what the other side did, and dropping the atomic bomb and all that warm fuzzy stuff.

Their are some "just" reason for all wars to begin, whether everything that happens subsequently is just, no.

krudler · 31-01-2012 02:35AM

Star Wars

It would be great if they organised a war, and nobody turned up :pac:

Ryan OConnor · 31-01-2012 03:07AM

It depends what side you're on.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock · 31-01-2012 03:09AM

All of them. Even Hitler felt justified in starting World War 2.

First rule of thumb when starting a war - establish yourself as the victim.

KeithAFC · 31-01-2012 03:13AM

If it is defending the land, then yes. Depends what side you are on too.

No man, closer to home, but thinking on it you could be right.

No; a war is never just a war. there's always more to it than that...

You'll thank me later?

Local-womanizer · 31-01-2012 04:53AM

The war on obesity!

That fat guy that lives down the street from me, I call in airstrikes on him daily.

Specific enough?

The nasty side of war well

I would say when people are put threw that machine like structure they call the army you rant designed to think unless told to your designed to take life...
The human brain deals with things differently... the nasty side of war is the human brain.....
