I think something people over looked a lot during President Obama's Nobel Peace speech was he used the term moral war. Now for a lot people, the idea of a justified war seems to be something that doesn't bring up an argument. However, if we put two and two together, a campaign that involves casualties on both sides doesn't seem to have much that can justify it. Indeed "moral war" seems to be an oxymoron.
Thus to get a better idea, I want to hear what other people think of this term. Is there such thing as a moral war? If it exists, when is war justified morally? Or to put better, is there ever a good enough reason to justify a war? And also throw out there, has there EVER been a war that you could call a "morally justified war"?
