It means there is a justifiable reason for going to war. Take for example World War 2. Hitler was killing millions of people and invading countries against their will. That deemed a reason to go against Hitler. He was wrong to do what he did and he had to be stopped. Another justifiable reason is when a people group or nation is under threat or attack. The United Nations deems it to be a justifiable reason for going to war against the foe. An example of that was when Iraq wanted to go into Kuwait to steal their oil and rule over them.

Is war justifiable?

is 6 Billion+ people on earth justifiable?war is about territory and the need/fear to expand borders and assetsif there wasnt so many many people so close together there would be less warWars are always justifable to those who begin them.Wars are justified by history and those who win them.Wars are seldom just to those who suffer and die in them.Are wars justified? 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.

Why is war never justified?

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.
