There are two types of wars: offensive wars and defensive wars. Offensive wars, for example, are when a country wages war against Another Country for imperialist or expansionist reasons, without there being a threat to the security of that country. Offensive wars can not be jusified by God or The Bible. Defensive wars, on the other hand, are when a country simply defends itself against an invading army. This type of war can be justified in the eyes of God, especially if you are fighting to protect your population and your faith from foreign invaders.

Well, that's something you have to answer for yourself. You can think on a high, grand level and say "Well, war gives a country some new territory." Or, you can think on the scale of the individual and think "Well, people die in wars." Personally, I think that a war is justified if the goals are realistic and manageable. Look at the war now. We can't possibly make pece in Iraq in any way short of killing them all. This war isn't quite worth it, but there are wars that are. In then end, it's your choice.War is justified when it stops certain people/powers who, if unchecked, would slaughter countless more people than it took to stop them. It is also justified in cases such as the Revolutionary war, when a country/colonies is/are wrongfully oppressed.

There have been a few just wars in the past. War can be justified if it is waged in order to defend yourself and your country and faith from invaders. War cannot be justified when it is offensive, instead of defensive.
