Thanks plwk dear,
I still feel and think that I do not justify war or violence from a buddhist perspective. One who has the Right View about things has no need for violent means. This means that war, as an extreme expresion of a violent mind, maybe has its root in the three "Buddhist Poisons": Greed, Hatred and Delusion wich are overcome thorugh the deep realization of the Four Noble Truths, the commitment with the Eightfold Noble Path and the full dedication and discipline in cultivating a stillness, dispasionate and pacefull mind impregnated in awarness and full consiusness.
