I think it's hypocrytical for christians to be the aggressor in any situation
They have the right to defend and use force
The question is who is the aggressor - in any conflict
The people or countries who wage war are only interested in accumulating and or protecting their wealth and power
The bible says: What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world yet suffers the loss of his soul

NO!!!!!Those that claim to be and do so are the worst kind of evil.And the US is on a crusade to wage war on everything including its own children(yeah thats right.The war on drugs for example has been going on for 20 years with no end in sight)In the name of religion and god.Whats compassionate and godlike about treating your family like criminals?The war on terror will take the same course only on a global scale and probably be responsible for everyones ultimate demise.But who cares.Christians will go to heaven.I wonder what they will wage war on there?

"The people or countries who wage war are only interested in accumulating and or protecting their wealth and power"
This is an incorrect assertion that falls out of your other statement "The question is who is the aggressor - in any conflict". No one country these days claims to be the aggressor. It is typically each country saying the other is the aggressor.
Going to war to accumulate is wrong, but I can't say (as a Christian) that going to war to protect is necessarily wrong. It all depends on the circumstances so there is no generalized answer for your question.

The people caught in the crossfire are only interested to stay alive. The bible won't stop bullets. Waging war on the innocent the scared, the hungry, the sick for profit (and that is exactly what is going on) is despicable.

Tell me, which Christians are waging war?
You mean, like, America? That is a *nation* waging war. The nation contains Christians but also Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Shintoists, Taoist, atheists, agnostics, et al., but wars of this country are declared by a nation, not a religion.

Christians have no right of self defence, let alone wage war. We are told to turn the other cheek, to return good for evil, to forgive our enemies, not to fight back against an aggressor. No teaching of Christ justifies violence.

Please try and expand your world view, People who practice a form of Christianity are still just people, they are no different than the guy who practices carpentry. Once you accept that Christianity is not a race or a tribal group, you will understand how inane your question is. People are asked to follow the teachings of the Christ, they are not branded if they do not, nor are their heads cut off because they follow another line of faith, so get over yourself.

the in ordinary words reason i am going to justifiably condone conflict is even as a united states of america or international locations is going to the help of a human beings being subjugated through an oppressive regime. most of the different motives have mainly been religiously disguised bullshit the position one facet purely needs to take what the different one has contained in the call of god. good element is the aggressor usually loses, the undesirable element is the persons who all started it or made all the nasty desision in no way extremely pay for blood on their fingers. Why is it that maximum elected leaders(terror organisations lined, dont see bin encumbered strapping a bomb to himself or his childrens) are satisfied to steer their united states of america and deliver thousands and thousands to their deaths with bravado yet would **** thier pants if every person advised them they had to wrestle at the front line.

The Christian Cross is an Alibi for War! (Mark of the Beast)
Constantine - XP (The Cross) ""conquer by this".
Nothing has really changed since the time of Constantine.
Note: I do not follow any man-made Religion - i.e. all of them...

Two nations at war against each other & christians in both nations. The answer is no! God doesn't want His begotton children fighting against each other & trying to kill each other.

It was never justifiable and still isn't. Christians are to work what is peacable towards all, not just those related to them in the faith.
