Absent abnormal circumstances, probably never, objectively. However, subjectively, each or every side always have what they consider good reasons to fight. And, our military troops die, but men still love to fight. General George Patton said, on the battlefield,"God help me, but I love this.

In many places, there has developed a "Just War Theory" or something similar which provides circumstances under which a war is justified. Typically, Just War requires that the war be defensive or at least in the protection of people. It requires the enemy to be avowed in his desire for conquest and/or pillaging and it requires that there be no peaceful alternative to armed conflict. Most people consider the Allies in World War II to have been fighting a Just War.
