QuestionAt a time when the concepts of 'self-defense' and 'humanitarian intervention' are being redefined, how are we to tell the difference between 'holy war' and 'just war'? Sandra SchaedeAnsweroriginal language english
Bora Cosic: There is no holy war and there is no justified war! War is evil that can always be escaped if there are people good willing to solve there controversies, conflicts and problems in peaceful way. Holy war is something specially perfidy there it uses religion as a base for payoffs with those who have deferent belief of our own. Starting from Christian wars to the ethnic cleanings in Bosnia and Kosovo, its all comes down to the extermination of the people of other religion, nation or ethnic group. Justified war is also a flowerily phrase that beers justification of armed conflicts in the name (for the sake) of higher goals. But who is going to ascertain this justice in which name the war is being fought?
