War can be justified when:
- The cause of war is just i.e freedom or equality.
- Not going to war would cause more suffering than the war itself.
- The war is started in self defense
- War would protect the lives of many civilians i.e the UK fighting in Afghanistan will help prevent terrorist attacks.
- War would prevent a much larger scale war.
- It stops inhuman behaviour and enforces international agreements
- Countries and colonies are wrongly oppressed.
- The negative effect of war is smaller than the effect of NOT going to war.
