Just War

Last month's co-winner of the comments contest, Amy, made a comment I hadn't noticed until recently. It was in response to my mean, old man rant last month.

She said:

I don't think this is a just war because it doesn't meet one of the basic requirements of a just war: we started it--it was not a war of defense.

Others have said the same but I suppose we have to figure out what we think a "just war" is. I think Amy, based on her comment, defines it by whether or not we were attacked first.

Anyone else have thoughts? I'll post mine a bit later.

Suffice it to say, it will reference Old testament scripture and WWII.
