I read the first few

So all wars are evil so I guess according to this person we shouldn’t have fought the Nazis

Stop moving my posts! or I'm leaving to another politics site which I found

the Nazi's had to be fought anything such as fighting demons, or possessed people under the influence of the devil, one that doesn't have understanding then yes we fight them

But if any war for any reason is bad, then going to war with the Axis would be wrong according to your blanket statement.

Although not the case with Iraq, sometimes an opposing force is so intent on conquering YOU, you either go to war or die, or at the very least are conquered and subjugated.

I like your thinking, you seem to ask simple obvious questions, to which an opposing reply would appear otiose.

All wars are evil, however there are times when intervention is needed, for example WW2 and Bosnian War

"It's not moral. War can never be a moral act, not even as a "last resort." In the best case, war is a necessary evil. What is the moral difference between a crusade and a jihad?"

I like this one.

Yes it can. If war is your only option for defense against an enemy that wants to wipe you out, war is perfectly moral.

Provide an example of what you think fits under this

World War II comes to mind. Even though we were hands off for some of it, after the Japanese attacked us we went in. The Japanese were 1/3 of the "Axis" powers and another third, Hitler's Germany made it pretty clear we were ALL in danger.
And considering what Hitler was responsible for, ANY argument against war just falls flat.

Many of the other notable wars were for territory and such, and may fall a little closer to your way of thinking, but when an avowed enemy wants to kill and/or enslave you and your entire country you must consider war as a justifiable response.

War is difficult to justify in many cases, but when you are attacked first all bets are off. It has to be judges on a case by case basis, and is some cases, you either go to war or you die.
