What does law have to do with war? Killing, destroying property, taking land and resource by force are all illegal. Declare war, and it all becomes legal???
This is based entirely on the laws the war makers make, the winner then becomes legally justified, right?

I would not kid myself into thinking a country or people could fight a "moral" war. Nor do I kid myself about our history, everything we enjoy in this country is the result of war. The result of our past countrymen, killing, destroying property, taking property and resources by force. Now we have people enjoying the benefits of war, who want to say war is just or unjust, good or bad, legal or illegal, needed or not needed. We live in a world where you fight or you die, you make war or you risk your life and liberty. As long as we have something someone else may want, war is inevitable. You are either at war or preparing for war. Let's stop pretending we live in a world different than that.
