The Theory of a Just War - Will It Perish in a Global Economy?

Considering a lot of the conflict in the modern world today, is in the middle east. Over the recreation of a dead civilization that was long since destroyed. Which was reborn unintentionally by the group that originally tried to exterminate it original people.

War over religion, will only lead to continuously blood shed, as if God turned a blind, all seeing eye, until the religion it self has a change. Meaning that it not following it self destructive, tribal path of imposing their gods laws.

Now the main cause for most tension these days is the globalist economies, since its control over resources, and turning it into a profit. Main problem is, who's currency is who owns what, and what dollar has more value.

Other then that, it just your basic ideals of sin really. In other words, survival.

The biggest problem with the Middle East is not religion.
It's the rest of the world wanting what they have.
And the problems associated with that.
Religion is just a crutch they grasp to.
Studies have shown that religious extremism is linked with socio-economic situation.

True, a lot of the middle eastern issues due involve outsiders. However, there is still much religious dispute, whether the cause was religion, or some soci-economic factor inside the country it self where religions a facade.

Let alone any conflicts that middle east, has with the middle east.

NO , OUR collective asses are on the line,you just get to watch and monday morning QUARTERBACK the whole thing philosophically then blame it on us.
Then of course move on to cheer the latest idiot who's foreign policies (OR THE CURRENT CASE OF POTUS THE LACK OF ONE,otherwise known in MILITARY circles as the DIE later plan for your children)WE die enforcing. 'Don't join" you say? Oh THERES a good idea that will have us OVERRUN due to incompetent DRAFTEES and the FACT they have no will to defend JACK S##T but their own ass..
In the passed it HAS worked of course but NOW ? I guess I don't think most can disconnect from their cells...
No war is JUST, accept to the victor.It's a question of values,and subjective opinion an UNSOLVABLE debate.

Sort of like the current leadership in Iran taking power from the American backed guy who ran it for US interests?
Al-Queda's roots being mixed in with American funded rebels against Russia's invasion of Afghanistan?
The US's support, then toppling of the Hussein ruled Baath in Iraq?
The US backed war between Iraq and Iran?
The consent by misspeaking a US diplomat accidentally gave Iraq to invade Kuwait?
The creation of Israel?
That's just what I know of.....

The common dirt poor Joe Schmo over there feels powerless.
So, of course, he's reaching towards the one thing a great many desperate people reach towards.

You know that moment in chess where all pawns collide. That what it feels like.
