What Criterion for "Just War"

[Gomez da Killah]

civil wars are the only justifiable wars. civil wars are usually a product of extreme civil unrest, most times, in response to oppression from a tyrannical ruling class.
these are actions of the people (or a percentage of people) for the betterment of the people.
because civil wars are declared by the people instead of a small ruling class, it is easier to justify. instead of being sent to war by a faceless tyrant to suit a hidden agenda, the people are acting by their own accord.
dont get me wrong, i dont believe that there is a truely "just" war. it can always be avoided; but, unfortunately, most times it's easier to slaughter the masses than it is to change a few minds.
