[edit] Why this page?

This was a redirect to The Just War Theory. By that theory defensive wars are usually can be considered to be just but not if unjust means are used and not if they will lead to a futile loss of life. Offensive wars can be just in certain circumstaces - to prevent genocide for example. Hence defensive ware is not a sinonim for The Just War Theory.Dejvid 13:09, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] =Some Ideas
