Ask the Jews if they thought war was necessary during WWII.
Auschwitz
Auschwitz was the largest concentration camp. Auschwitz was located in Poland. It was made up of 3 concentration camps in one. It was a camp that had forced work and killed people. The people were sent from a forced labor camp to a death camp when they became old or when they were weak to be killed. Some were also tested for experiments that tested medical things, such as diseases and cures. About 1 ¼ million people were killed at Auschwitz during World War II.
Bergen-Belsen
Bergen-Belsen was near the villages of Bergen and Belsen in Germany. It was built in 1943 as a prison camp and a Jewish slave work camp. It was meant for 10,000 people but ended up holding 41,000. It did not have any gas chambers, but 37,000 prisoners died there. They died from diseases or just being over worked. Anne Frank, one of the most famous concentration camp victims today, died there.
Buchenwald
Buchenwald was one of the first and the biggest concentration camps. It was built in 1937 in Weimar, Germany. It held 20,000 prisoners and most of them worked as slaves in near by factories. There were no gas chambers in Buchenwald, but many died from disease, little food or the wrong kind of food (malnutrition), exhaustion, beatings, and executions. Prisoners were used to test the viruses and their vaccines.
Dachau
Dachau was the first Nazi concentration camp built. The camp was built in 1933. It was located in Dachau, Germany. The camp was meant to perfrom medical experiments on prisoners. These experiments left the people dead or disabled. The experiments and the harsh living conditions made it one of the most harsh camps. It was not designed as a killing camp though.
Sachsenhausen
This camp was located near the village of Sachsenhausen, in north Germany. It was built in 1936 as a part of 3 camps including Buchenwald and Dachau. The early prisoners of the camp were 10,000 Jewish people from Berlin and Hamburg. 200,000 people were in the camp and 100,000 of them ended up dying from disease, exhaustion, and over working in the local factories. A lot of the rest were brought to many other death camps.
Theresienstadt
This camp was in north Bohemia (in modern Czech Republic). The camp later became a walled-in ghetto (a part of a city where Jewish people were forced to live) in 1941. After the people that were not Jews were evacuated, they started sending more Jews to the camp from Germany, Austria, Denmark, and other countries. Out of 14 1,000 Jewish people sent to Theresienstadt, 33,500 people died from the crowding in the ghettto, 88,000 Jews were sent to killing camps, from Theresienstadt, especially Auschwitz.
I think you see my point.

WWII - isn't that justification enough for the Jews
OEF (Operation Enduring Freedom) - isn't that justification enough for the Americans
Or are you one of those retards that 10 years from now will say that 9/11 never happened? Just like many people are saying that Holocost never happened!
You're so phucking retarded

a little over 200 years ago if one war in particular had not been won we Americans would all be bowing down to the queen, having a tea time and all need dental attention immediately.
A little while after that if another war had not been won all of europe would be speaking german and there would be no jews anywhere.

Sure it did.
Spartans, Romans and many ancients had very reasonable justification... for them. It is us that have morals that do not allow for 'real' justification. Fighting for peace is still a very wrong line.

Dramatic change almost never happens w/o war & war, bad as it is, usually is less costly than the alternatives.
