Is war justified? Some times yes, it is necessary. A nation should go to war when it's own safety is at risk. The nation is more than justified in defending it's self from any threats that would see it's nation and people destroyed. There are times though that war is done merely to further the interests of a particular group or people, for instance many activities in the middle east (outside of the invasion of Afghanistan which was justified) being influenced by Israel and other war profiteers in our own nation. I believe that America should stay the leader in military strength though, we need to protect our nation as best we can but i don't agree with wars that don't affect us. Tragedy and death happens all over the world all through time. the world began with suffering and will end with suffering. We just need to stick it out and worry about our people first. Americans will worry about Americans and the everyone else will look out for themselves. As Americans we are blessed to have a military that can hold out without the aid of others, against our enemies. We should practice a military isolationism but as I said we need to keep our military as powerful as possible to secure our nation and peoples.
